Creating A Creating A ClimateClimate For LearningFor Learning
“Effective teachers believe that all students can learn and be successful. Effective teachers consciously create a climate in which all students feel included. Effective teachers believe that there is potential in each learner and commit to finding the key that will unlock the potential.”
Gregory & Chapman. (2007). Differentiated Instructional Strategies: One Size Doesn’t Fit All.
“Closely related to teachers’ behavior is the development of a classroom climate conducive to good thinking…students cannot think well in a harsh, threatening situation…Teachers can make their classrooms more thoughtful places by demonstrating in their actions that they welcome originality and differences of opinion.”

What I am taking away today,… What I still hope to get,….
That Noble TitleTeacher
As you begin this school year, may you remember the fine nuances and the distinguishing essence of that proud word Teacher. Let you be reminded of the tools you have at your command, because of your talents, your traits, and your training…and because you chose to become a Teacher.
Teacher – you are a poet, as you weave with your colorful magic language a passion for your subject. You create a vast and grand mosaic of curiosities to imagine, secrets to unfold, connections only to begin the cycle of learning.Teacher – you are a physicist, as you bring magic, logic, reason, and wonder to the properties, changes and interactions of our universe.Teacher – you are a maestro, a master of composing as you conduct and orchestrate individuals’ thoughts and actions from discordant cacophony into harmonic resonance.Teacher – you are an architect, as you provide each student a solid foundation, but always with a vision of the magnificent structure that is about to change.Teacher – you are a gymnast, as you encourage the contortions and gyrations of thoughts and the flexing and strengthening of ideas.Teacher – you are a diplomat and the ambassador of tact and sensitivity, as you facilitate productive, positive interactions among the multiplicity of personalities and cultures, beliefs, and ideals.Teacher – you are a philosopher, as your actions and ethics convey meaning and hope to young people who look to you for guidance and example.
-Trish MarcuzzoOmaha Public Schools
