Slide Notes
According to Jennifer Katz students social and emotional learning improves students attitudes, behaviour and performance in school. By creating a community through social emotional learning she goes on to say that we can create a safe haven where students feel safe, cared for, valued and respected. If teachers can create an environment where students are feeling this way we are beginning to create an environment where students respect one another's differences.

WHAT FACTORS CREATE A CLASSROOM CULTURE THAT IS INCLUSIVE?
A LOOK AT SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING
According to Jennifer Katz students social and emotional learning improves students attitudes, behaviour and performance in school. By creating a community through social emotional learning she goes on to say that we can create a safe haven where students feel safe, cared for, valued and respected. If teachers can create an environment where students are feeling this way we are beginning to create an environment where students respect one another's differences.

STUDENTS NEED TO BE TAUGHT TO:
- Respect diversity
- Develop self-concept
- Embody democratic classroom management
According to Jennifer Katz in order to create an inclusive classroom teachers need to start by developing a compassionate learning community. This can be done by teaching students to respect diversity, develop self-concept and creating a democratic classroom management system. by doing this teachers are creating an inclusive classroom culture that respects the social and emotional needs of all students in the classroom. If students are doing these three things we will be setting up the foundation for an inclusive classroom community. The reason that we need to teach this is derived in brain research. The brain is trying to seek balance. The brain is also responsible for emotions and give emotions priority. The brain therefore will not allow information to flow to the highest level for logic and reasoning if balance is not achieved. For this reason an emotional balance must be reached before learning can take place.

JOHN HATTIE
- Self-reporting grades
- Feedback
- Peer tutoring
In my observation I saw 3 strategies as defined by John Hattie. The teacher asked students how she thought they were going to do in spelling, she gave immediate feedback and students were helping one another by helping them understand math addition strategies.

JORDAN
- Primed background knowledge
- Big ideas
- Conspicuous strategies
- Scaffolding
- Integrating Strategies
- Judicious Review
From Anne Jordan's book I saw 3/6 of the strategies that are suggested as high quality instructional tools. Mrs. I primed their background knowledge by getting the students to lead and bound across the classroom to make sure they understood the words they were being asked to spell. She offered conspicuous strategies by explaining different math strategies to students as they did them together. She also did a lot of scaffolding. When she provided feedback for students she made sure they understood what they were doing by following the I do, we do, we do, we do, you do model. Because students already had some experience with the math strategies this model occurred over a shorter period of time than if it were the first time the task was being introduced.
