Journal: Respond to "I've come to understand that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my mood that makes the weather." How will you become the decisive element?
I think the statement relates not only to the classroom, but to life as well. Each and every day is made up by our actions. We dictate whether we will be happy or sad. Since we are the leaders of the classroom our students look to us to be the decisive element. If the teacher is in a bad mood, the students will become more apprehensive and pick up on the negative environment. If the teacher is in a happy mood and welcomes the students, they will be more receptive to the given information. The environment is created by the teacher….the leader of the pack. Having a fun and interactive class is optimal whereas a negative and angry teacher fosters a poor learning environment.
