(Personal Goals)

• Need to work on naturally integrating classroom management (need whole class attention, not repeating myself: maximum twice)
• Need to establish a stronger teacher presence at ALL times in ALL situations possible (take students’ input into consideration, but at times it is okay to say no so I don’t loose control. 
• I should always try to address the class as whole and not give too much attention to selective students especially when they are merely seeking attention. (exceptions: medical reason or other conditions)
• allowing students know upfront we will be learning new things, it may be things that are familiar to them but in a different way. We might not always get to do what they exactly want, but we might be able to get to it when I feel they are able to demonstrate their readiness and ability to focus)
• I should never assume students understand the given tasks, always pause if students are confused (it is okay to review rules from the start to the end)
• Proximity: gather students as close as possible for attention (e.g. gym, so students can hear and focus more easily and that I don’t have to raise my voice and repeat my instructions)
• classroom: provide students more opportunities during lesson activities to allow student autonomy to share and utilize more background knowledge and experience
• try different ways of posing questions that allows students to wonder (relevant questions that are broad in a way that allows all students to explore)
