I was given full responsibility to set up my classroom for my internship this school year. For my artifact, I have included pictures of the classroom I put together for my students. This artifact provides evidence of Environment (DM4), because it demonstrates an understanding of how I can create a safe and workable learning environment for my students. For example, I have grouped the students in a way that makes collaborative learning possible. I have also set the classroom up so that items are easily accessible and stored and labeled in an orderly manner. In this artifact, I show how I can create a physically and emotionally safe classroom environment that encourages active learning, self-motivation, and cooperative interaction among my students.
