In my class, I aim to promote a sense of belonging with my students through mentorship. The whiteboards will provide them with a canvas for their thinking and collaborating, but also a space where they can practice leadership. Affront a board, students will gather in small group settings, like AVID tutorials, where each student may take charge in leading discussions and wondering, reviewing concepts, or developing plans, such as coordinating community service. At the end, I hope students will develop public speaking skills and confidence to provide support to other classes and grade levels.
Snacks are important in creating an environment where students' basic needs are met; but also, food is a great way to show we, as teachers, care.
I have taken on a tradition of breaking bread from my previous mentors, learning to bring people together through a shared love for food and nourishment. I hope to transform the atmosphere of the classroom to become a place where students meet and learn; emphasizing the classroom as a meeting place prioritizes the importance of social relationships and a sense of place. Where food is shared, so is their sense of belongingness with each other.
Additionally, basic supplies and supplemental reading materials are needed for general classroom activities. In an era of prolific, technological advancement, we oftentimes forget to be present with others and our surroundings. Physical material for creation and inspiration may encourage students to be present with others, with the materials they hold, the products they envision, and the people they share these spaces with.
