My Mel experiences
• Student/teacher relation: In third grade my teacher helped me much with my math. She kept my interested in it and math ended up being my favorite subject for the rest of my life.
• Making things interesting: My forth grade teacher knew how to get her students involve in any of the subjects. She was very good at setting up different games that helped us learn more about History, English, science and math. She also rewarded us when we got something correct.
• Leadership: My fifth grade teacher was a leader. We were like her troops and she would direct us in the right direction when we needed it. Like when I was having trouble with grammar she would try to get me back on track and let me discover the right way instead of just telling me the right way.
• Poverty: Again my fifth grade teacher. In Buxton, ME there isn’t a lot of diversity but we did have and African American in my fifth grade class. The beauty about my teacher was that she didn’t see a color difference all see saw was another student that was in her class.
• Motivating underachievers: believe it or not my home base teacher in high school was the biggest motivator of under achievers. He kept assignments simple but very educational. He was a teacher that made people and his student laugh and kept them working.

Quick Response to Chapter 2
Fairness, respect, trust and no bias inside the classroom is something that students desire from every teacher. I am surprised that students have a very strong idea of what they want the teacher to be like.
These ideas are very important to have in a class in order to create a safe learning environment. It also gets the students to understand that you as the teacher want them to learn and succeed instead of just allowing them to fail.

Quick Response to Chapter 1
In the reading there was an idea that a teacher should know where each of their students live. This idea surprised me because a teacher really shouldn’t know exactly where each of the students live because it’s unprofessional. But I feel instead of knowing the exact location of each student, a teacher should know the area that their students come from.
It jumped out at me because it isn’t right or professional to know where a student lives and go and see them at their house. It is also a good idea to know the area that the student lives in because it might have an impact on how the act in class or how they learn.
