Implementation plan to create resiliency within students, Matthew
(Matt) Key from Georgia.
“To produce
resiliency within the students you have a good plan would be three fold”,
states Matthew (Matt) Key from Georgia.
One of the parts of this plan will take place within the first semester
of the school year. Another part will
begin in the first semester and continue throughout the year and the third part
will be an ongoing plan throughout the school year. The first part in implementing this plan will
be my responsibility. In order to build
the relationships that teachers need to have with their students, I need to
begin having one-on-one conferences with the students. In these conferences I want to find out their
interests, what they like to learn and how they like to learn. I having these conferences I want to ensure
to these students that I have their needs at heart. To give support for the students in their
learning, I will be available for one hour after school for tutorials. These tutorials will be for extended time in
finishing materials or further explanation of content for better
understanding. Also, tutorials can be
used for the specific purpose of just establishing stronger relationships with
the students. The second part of
implementing this plan would be to attend professional development courses to
find new and innovative ways of teaching my curriculum that meets all
learners. Once I begin attending the
courses, I can decide which practices that I want to use the most that will have
the greatest impact on my students.
Also, I would want to give the students a survey to determine how they
like to learn the best. Giving the
students a voice in the process of their learning gives them a sense of
ownership in the learning and develops pride in what they are doing. Throughout the year I would need to find
workshops or courses that I can continue to build best practices for my
classroom. Matthew (Matt) Key states, “I must say that sharing these best practices
with my colleagues is of the utmost importance”. I do not want to keep this new found
knowledge just for my students. The goal
is to build more resilient children, not just students in my class. The final part of implementing this plan
would be to assist the administration in finding speakers and parents that
would be willing to come in to school to talk with other parents about how to
build resilient students. Also, the
administration needs to offer opportunities for the parents to become involved. Getting the parents involved in discussing
important issues in the school, participating in school wide activities, and
helping teachers with certain areas in their classrooms will build enhance the
environment into one where the children feel safe and see that everyone is
involved to ultimately see them achieve.
