Yes, some of the words can be grouped together prioritizing the list to two powerful words:
based on their similarities:
Group 1: Happiness, Joy, Cheerfulness 1. Joy
Group 2: Power, Success, Achievement 2. Trustworthiness
Group 3: Trustworthiness, Reliability, Dependability
Group 4: Love, Kindness, Compassion This two are my core values.
Now, narrowing the list to four words:
1. Joy (encompassing Happiness and
Cheerfulness)
2. Success (encompassing Power and
Achievement)
3. Trustworthiness (encompassing Reliability
and Dependability)
4. Love (encompassing Kindness and
Compassion)
Additional Notes:
As a teacher, being happy and someone students can trust really matters. When you bring happiness and
excitement to teaching, your students are also curious and excited about studying. And when you're someone
they can rely on and trust, they feel safe and supported in their learning journey. It's like creating a happy,
trustworthy classroom family where everyone grows together.

Associated:
In our journey through Psychology 101, we've explored four fascinating perspectives that shed light on how we
learn and develop as individuals.
Behaviorism, championed by theorists like B.F. Skinner and Ivan Pavlov, focuses on how our environment
shapes observable behaviors. It highlights conditioning and reinforcement as key factors in learning.
Notes:
Cognitivism, led by minds such as Jean Piaget and Albert Bandura, delves into the intricate realm of mental
processes. This perspective examines memory, problem-solving, and information processing, emphasizing the
inner workings of our minds.
Constructivism, with pioneers like Lev Vygotsky and Jerome Bruner, places you at the center of your learning
journey. It suggests that through active engagement and interaction, you construct your own understanding,
crafting knowledge from experiences.
Humanism, advocated by Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers, takes a holistic approach, celebrating your
potential for self-actualization and personal growth. It reminds us that education isn't just about facts but about
nurturing your unique abilities.
As we continue to explore the rich tapestry of psychology, these perspectives will help us better understand the
complexities of the human mind and the diverse ways we learn and flourish.

Hattie’s most effective influences on instruction (throughout SS)
Hattie's most effective influences on instruction, as identified through extensive research spanning various
subjects and educational settings, encompass a range of strategies and approaches that consistently yield
positive learning outcomes. These influential factors often include student-centered teaching methods,
formative assessment practices, timely feedback, metacognitive strategies, collaborative learning, and the
cultivation of a growth mindset. By implementing these evidence-based approaches, educators can enhance
student engagement, understanding, and overall achievement across diverse subject areas and learning
environments.

Carol Ann Tomlinson is a renowned educator known for her work in differentiated instruction. Here are four of her
strategies for differentiation in a second grade (SS2) context:
• Flexible Grouping: Arrange students into small groups based on their readiness levels, interests, or learning
profiles. This allows you to tailor your instruction to each group's specific needs and provide appropriate
challenges or support.
• Tiered Assignments: Create assignments or tasks at different levels of complexity to accommodate varying
levels of proficiency. This allows all students to engage with the content at a level that suits their abilities.
• Learning Stations: Set up different stations or learning centers where students can work on various activities
related to the lesson. Each station can address different learning styles or levels, providing a well-rounded
learning experience.
• Choice Boards: Offer students a choice of activities or projects that cater to different learning preferences.
This empowers students to take ownership of their learning and select tasks that align with their strengths and
interests.
These strategies aim to provide a more personalized and effective learning experience for each student, ensuring that
they can access and engage with the curriculum in ways that suit their individual needs and abilities.

Three-Level Guide
Question-Answer Relationships (QAR)
A well-rounded SEL program at the SS12 level aims to equip students with the emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills
needed for success in academics, relationships, and life beyond school.
1. Personalized Welcome:
Display a colorful and visually appealing welcome sign at the entrance of the classroom with the students'
names, such as "Welcome to Mrs. [Your Name]'s Class." This shows that the classroom is prepared specifically
for them.
2. Student Work Displays:
Showcase a diverse array of student work on bulletin boards, walls, or hanging displays. This demonstrates that
their contributions are valued and that their unique talents and achievements will be celebrated.
3. Comfortable Seating:
Arrange flexible seating options, such as cozy reading corners with bean bags, cushions, or floor mats. Providing
a variety of seating choices helps students feel comfortable and accommodates different learning preferences.
4. Interactive and Engaging Displays:
Set up interactive displays related to the subject matter or a fun, relevant theme. For instance, if teaching science,
create a "Science Lab" corner with hands-on experiments ready for exploration.
Warm Color Scheme:
5.
Choose warm and calming colors for the classroom décor, such as soft blues, greens, or earth tones. These colors
create a soothing atmosphere that promotes a sense of belonging.
Student-Centered Resources:
6. Organize easily accessible materials, like age-appropriate books, art supplies, and learning aids, in labeled bins
or shelves. This empowers students to independently engage with learning resources.
Lemov’s techniques to “Teach like a Champion” (CBM4)
1. Setting High Academic Expectations: No Opt Out. Teachers with high expectations don't accept "I don't know," but expect students to be
engaged and "give it a shot."
2. Planning that Ensures Academic Achievement: Post It. Be sure your students know your objective for the day by posting it on the board.
Structuring and Delivering Your Lessons: Name the steps. Great coaches, like great teachers, break down the tasks into steps.
3.
Engaging Students in your Lesson: Vegas. Nothing like a little glitz to liven up classroom instruction!
4.
Creating a Strong Classroom Culture: Entry Routine. Having a structured entry routine expedites the beginning of instruction.
5.
Building and Maintaining High Behavioral: 100 Percent. Champion teachers don't create unreasonable behavioral expectations, because
their final expectation is that everyone conforms all (100%) of the time.
6.
Building Character and Trust: Explain Everything: Be sure your students understand why you do what you do. The "WHY" is an important

2. Vocabulary Building: Building a strong vocabulary is crucial for success on the Reading STAAR. Incorporate vocabulary
development into daily instruction and provide opportunities for students to learn and use new words in context.
3. Reading Fluency: Fluency, the ability to read text smoothly and accurately, is another key aspect assessed in the Reading
STAAR. Regular practice with reading aloud and repeated reading activities can enhance fluency.
Reflections on the Math STAAR (TL4)
1. Problem-Solving Skills: The Math STAAR assessment focuses on problem-solving skills and mathematical reasoning.
Teachers should emphasize the development of these skills by presenting students with real-world problems and encouraging
them to apply mathematical concepts.
2. Concept Mastery: Ensure that students have a deep understanding of mathematical concepts rather than simply memorizing
procedures. Emphasize conceptual understanding alongside procedural fluency.
3. Test-Taking Strategies: Teach students test-taking strategies, such as managing their time effectively, reading each question
carefully, and checking their work. These strategies can help reduce anxiety and improve performance on the Math STAAR.
