Plan for the new term

Here is my plan:

In order to create a welcoming classroom environment I will do the following:

•  Learn their names
•  Try to offer one-on-one assistance when possible
• Assign a peer partner
• Post a daily schedule
• Be patient
• Invite their culture into the classroom.
• Use materials related to the students' cultures
• Follow established rules 
•  Be consistent and fair with all students

 I will make the room welcoming by:

• asking them to create their own posters and put them on the wall.
•  I will also bring treats.
• To make the walls welcoming I will put their pictures.

As to the physical arrangement:

•  I will mostly use the u shape during lecturing and discussion
• I will use circles while working on group work.

As for building appreciation for others and promoting fairness and respect:

• I will try to facilitate students' acceptance of difference via showing interest in their background,
• using ice-breaking activities to make them about each other,
•  using group work and teaching them that diversity is a world reality. 
•  I will also show them the following videos:

To handle problems:

There will be class rules that they have to follow including:

• how to deal with others,
• how to give feedback,
•  and how to deal with colleagues inside and outside the class.

To build collaboration:

I will make two projects:

• One at the beginning of the course where they will divide the steps of doing it together and present it together.
• The second project they will work with different group members on the other project.
