Maintaining appropriate student behavior can be important. This
can have many implications for the rest of what a teacher tries to accomplish throughout the school day. As to how I intend to maintain appropriate student behavior I would attempt to build a relationship of respect with the students but also attempt to maintain a level of respect where I would be someone that requires the students’ respect and attention. I would like the students to respect me and view me positively. I would like to avoid trying to be their friend as in reality that is something that is not always the best method for success. I would like to remain an authority figure who the students respect but yet be someone who students can trust and seek guidance as well as assistance when needed.
