Analyze three key components of your classroom arrangement that promotes and facilitates an active and collaborative learning environment.
**(Hi, I’m a kindergarten teacher. I have 27 students in my class. 3 components I have in my room are
#1 flexible seating (bean bags, carpet, stools, chairs, rocking chairs)
#2 I have collaborative learning spaces throughout my room. During my work station time it’s easy for my students to rotate every 20 minutes because of how my tables are spaced out. Each table is set up for small groups to collaborate together. Each station is organized and labeled kids know where to go. We rotate clockwise so the kids can easily point and walk to the next work station. At each station I make sure the student’s work is differentiated.

#3 I have a calm-down corner in my class where kids ask to go if they need to deesculate, reflect, meditate, relax

Design your classroom with the following reflection questions in mind:

How will you arrange your classroom to accommodate student learning for those with specialized areas? (I can vary the way concepts are taught in the classroom: either through visual, auditory, or kinesthetic lessons). Special needs students will be placed with their needs in mind

How will student engagement occur with this particular classroom design? Do you need multiple designs?

Create a snapshot of your classroom.

Use a photo, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Paint, or any other resource approved by your faculty member to display a snapshot of your identified specialized areas and how the classroom design will look different. (I WILL DO THIS PART)
I’ve put a bunch of what you can say I just need help putting it all together so it sounds professional. Thank you for your help!

Write a 350- to 525-word reflection summary that includes the following:

Describe the characteristics of the three learning environments.
Assess the effect that your unique teaching style has on instructional practice.
Reflect on how your own life experiences, biases, and strengths influence your teaching style.
(AT times during my career my life experiences or biases have led me to underestimate my students or have led to a negative classroom climate without even realizing it. Even teaching females vs. males certain biases may have changed the way I taught a lesson) I think the classes I’ve taken, and the friendships I have made have helped strengthen my experience as a teacher, and a colleague. It’s helped to create more positivity in teaching and communicating with my kids)
