RESPECT

Respect in the classroom is essential. Why? Because as you respect the students, and they respect you, a mutual understanding occurs. They know that you are there to teach, and they are there to learn, and this facilitates a great learning environment. Also, as you have the respect of the students, you are able to have a good command of the classroom.
As I observed Mr. Anderson on Thursday, I noticed that he had the respect of his students. They really enjoyed his class and had fun. They were able to follow directions and learn. This was due to their respect of him. I hope to learn from that example, and build upon these observations.
