Just a reminder that we do have class on Tuesday, May 4th. All practicum documents are due along with all class assignments. Unless you have to take the final, this will be the last time I will see you.
I believe that the art of teaching is shown in the teacher's ability to have a positive rapport with students. According to Webster's Dictionary, the word rapport means "relation; connection, esp. harmonious or sympathetic relation: a teacher trying to establish close rapport with." Hopefully, your cooperating teacher has a good rapport with the students. Watch your cooperating teacher this week in order to answer the following questions:
What strategies does the teacher use to build and maintain rapport with students? How are opportunities for success provided for each student? Do the students have a positive connection with the teacher?

My cooperating teacher uses strategies of listening and communicating with the students to maintain a positive rapport with the students. She maintains this by staying consistent with her strategies. My cooperating teachers provides opportunities for success by helping the students during recess to complete their work on time. I also notice that my teacher gives each student a certain amount of individual help depending on how much help they need. I believe that this helps the teacher to maintain a positive rapport with the students. I feel that most of the students do have a positive connection with the students. At moments it can get out of hand in a negative way but for the most part it is a positive atmosphere with the teacher and students.
