The artifacts, classroom map and my classroom management paper, align with standard five in showing my understanding of student motivation, socilaization, and behavior. The artifacts illustrate my knowledge of how to seat my students in a way that they are able to positively socialize while being held accountable for thier own behavior. The artifacts also show that I am aware of different types of reinforcements to use in regards to my students' behavior.
 * Reflect**

The artifact, classroom map, models my ideal type of classroom. My student tables will be used for team work, sharing, and positive student interactions; which are all key elements in having a encouraging learning environment. The artifact clearly shows that I aim for my students to work productively and cooperatively with one another. The artifact, my classroom manangement paper, confirms that I am well aware of what it takes to maintain a well-behaved class. The elements in my classroom management plan show nothing less than my accurate understanding of sustainable classroom rules and policies that will promote positive learning and self-maintainence amongst my students.

The artifacts, classroom map and my classroom mananagemet paper, show that I very am confident in my the areas of behavior management and student socialization. Before finishing these assignments, I had not had a set plan or even idea of what to do in terms of wanting to maintain active student involvement through a lot of group work, while dealing with the sometimes improper behavior that comes with group work. After completing the two artifacts I am more than comfortable with the two areas. I believe what I have planned will work if implemented in an appropriate and effective manner.
