American Foundation 10/27

Today we talked about school shootings and the fear they put into students, teachers and communities. This really hits home because every time a new fear is installed in me about the affect I could have on a student. Also when I was a student in middle school after Columbine I was scared to go to school. I feel like as a teacher I need to help children feel safe in my classroom by going over plans for students safety. Practicing what to do in case of an emergency so children do not get scared if it really did occur. Also by being a good teacher to all my students and not ignoring any of them especially if they are showing that they are outcast from the other students. We talked about introducing new groups and programs at the schools for the students. I would like try to help introduce some ideas to the principal and the society.
