How the attitude, behavior and overall manner that a teacher holds themselves by has a direct impact on their students

Group Members: Lauren Aparo

Value: self-awareness

How does this practice/idea reflect Cluster Learning?

the idea that the professor perpetuates based on the fact that this learning is not just confined to the curriculum based information passed from teachers but it is an outside of the classroom initiative in learning. Challenging students to intersect their learning over academia and too a deeper social emotional based learning

Why did your group choose this idea to feature/explore?

I chose this idea because I feel as though the classroom begins with the “vibe” of the teacher and the personality they choose to propel forth towards their students. If that is off or not synching with some people in the classroom students can become distracted or be set off on the wrong track from the moment they arrive.

How could you generalize this idea into a practice that is applicable to as many different kinds of participants in the CPLC as possible?

This is barley an academia based concept, it begins more with each individual professor and is not affected by the topic that they may teach. It will however make less popular topics seem as though they are more pleasant and less tedious.

Identify anything that the University or the CoLab could do to help advance or support this practice.

identify some professorial guidelines on a more generalized and also a personalized level within each classroom
