| Abstract | For this paper, I will provide educators with actions they can take to make their classroom a safe place for their students to learn and be themselves. If educators implement these actions within their classrooms, then they will be helping their students in many ways. Educators might see their students' education grow and flourish because students will create an environment where they feel like their teacher is a safe individual they can trust. The classroom and classmates will become like a second home and family, allowing them to freely express themselves without fear of being mistreated or outcasted. I will also discuss how I conducted observations and spoke with my cooperating teacher about social-emotional learning (SEL) within her classroom/school. Finally, I will discuss and reflect on an SEL activity I implemented in my student-teaching classroom. |
