This document describes my experience with observing a lesson and conferencing with another educator. The skills that I developed while completing this assignment were those to necessary to ensure a system of accountability for every student’s success. The observation cycle and feedback loop assignment therefore demonstrates my ability to be self-aware and engage in reflective practice as described in ISLLC standard five. //**Reflection**//**//://** Overall, I was very excited that I was able to attend a colleagues class and share ideas. This opportunity led to the observed teacher and I developing a lesson on motivational strategies for our students. The collaboration that arose from this project was not anticipated; in the future I will be working with this teacher and other colleagues to be reflective of my own practices and develop lessons and strategies that will promote student success.

The purpose of this guide is to inform eighth grade teachers of strategies that may be used in the classroom to prevent negative behaviors and create an environment that is conducive to learning. This document is presented as an artifact for ISLLC standard five as it illustrates my determination to ensure a system of accountability for every student’s academic and social success. //**Reflection**//**//://** As an eighth grade team at the Middle School we have been working to develop a positive school climate. First we implemented anti-bullying policies with an accompanying consequence rubric. We have most recently implemented the “Second Step” program in order to discuss with students the characteristics of positive peer relationships. The purpose of this guide is to inform eighth grade teachers of strategies that may be used in the classroom to foster a positive classroom environment that is supportive and promotes student success. In the future, I will continue to update this document as new programs become available and new ideas are shared. This guide will only serve its purpose if it remains current with what we know about how students learn as well as the tools available to create a positive and safe atmosphere.
