1.      What is your working EQ?

How does a teacher set a learning environment where the majority time is spent on teaching and learning rather than disciplining?

2.      What is a possible answer to your working EQ? Please write the answer in thesis format.

Answer 2: As the new school year begins teachers should have their expectations for the classroom and each student planned out.

Answer 3: Teachers should be open and welcoming to parents in order to create a line of communication to involve them in their child’s education.

3.      What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ?

The most important source that has helped me create my essential question is my mentor. I had no idea where to start, but after talking and brainstorming with my mentor she helped me come up with my essential question and different possible answers to it.

4.      Who is your mentor, or where are you doing mentorship, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?

My mentor is Lourdes Garay I am doing my mentorship at San Jose School. By doing my mentorship there I was able to create my essential question and possible answers. Also by experiencing firsthand how my mentor organizes and structures her classroom has helped me gain knowledge of what I could do in my future classroom and allows me to fully answer my essential question. It has also helped me find a way to include my essential question to my first component by allowing me to create my own set of rules and structure for my future class.
