Artifact 1

Classroom Management: This artifact is a document that addresses issues of fair management in the classroom environment and includes a drawing of a classroom layout with a computer signup sheet.

Context
These documents were created on Microsoft Word during my Elementary Education block experience at ASU.

Impact
This document shows the kind of the learning environment I want to establish in my classroom and addresses ways of accomplishing those goals through the arrangement of the classroom and techniques for behavoir management.

Alignment
In the classroom layout I have designed many different areas of the room for group work. The desks are in groups of four, which give space for student’s collaboration (Tech. Competency 12.4). In the layout the teacher’s desk is the back corner of the room so I would have a clear view of all the students. The class is laid out with many different "traffic patterns" so while they are doing group work I can easily see and move about all the students in order to properly manage them through proximity control (Tech Competency 12.5). In the computer corner there is a sign up sheet that can give students equal access to the area (Tech Competency 14.2).
