Learning can take place in many different circumstances and contexts. I honestly believe every child is capable of learning, and will learn. Each one of us has different learning styles: some learn best in lecture atmospheres, some are motivated by discussion, and others absorb best when they read and reflect on what they have read. Being able to work with different learning styles creates an atmosphere that is critical to learning. I also believe that students will meet any expectation a teacher sets for them. My job, as a teacher, is to create an atmosphere that fosters learning as well as makes my students feel loved and safe . I am an instructor because I have a passion for guiding students through the learning process, in addition to a passion for the material I present. Classroom Management We follow the ROARS model for behavior. ROARS stands for: Respect Organization Attitude Responsibility Sunnah Every classroom rule and expectation falls under one of these categories. We use a classroom economy to focus on positive reinforcement and encourage Islamic behavior.
