Answer 2

  1. My essential question is "How can a teacher best set a learning environment where the majority time is spent on teaching and learning rather than discipline?"
  2. My first answer is a teacher who takes their time in planning an effective structure spends less time disciplining their classroom and more time teaching.
  3.  My second answer is a teacher who sets their expectations clear and precise to understand spends less time disciplining their classroom and more time teaching.
  4.  My three reasons why this answer is true is: By setting expectations in the classroom the students know what you expect from them for example, raising their hand before speaking. Also having expectations creates its own structure allowing the day to flow smoothly which saves time instead of spending 5 minutes on a disruptive student. Also expectations are important to keep the classroom on task.   
  5. The printed source that best supports my answer is Setting Limits in the Classroom by Robert J. Mackenzie and Lisa Stanzonie because if talks about "real" situations and solutions.
  6. Another source that supports my answer is my mentor, Mrs. Garay because I see how she sets her classroom expectations and how she enforces them which she gives out incentives which work in her benefit.
  7. That’s why for my essential question’s second answer I would like to answer it with expectations because without expectations the students don’t know what you want from them for example, learn instead of talking or study instead of playing around.
