My students for the 2023-24 school year will be in 5th grade. It is important that I create a positive learning environment that supports self-regulation and social-emotional skills, which greatly impacts their access to education and learning. I have a variety of students including those who are engaged in their learning and some who are resistant to learning. I believe having attunement to their needs and using the neuro-developmental skills and demands model, learning can be less intimidating and reduces frustration. 5th grade students need a variety of avenues for learning and presenting information on a daily basis. A classroom that provides an inviting atmosphere, a predictable environment with consistent response and patterned, repetitive routines, provides external self-regulation. This allows me to implement point of performance coaching for emotional regulation, academic and social skill development.
