In "Crow Lake," the professor becomes fully aware that she is boring her class. Her class, however, is unaware that she knows what they're thinking and is surprised when she changes direction. In the selection "Students," the teacher has analyzed the class and all of their learning techniques. He knows just how each and every student approaches his class and how they think they are being discrete. In both passages, the teacher's years of experience teaching students allow them to become more aware of the students and their intentions than they show.

Coty’s philosophy of building a relationship with students is so on point. Her idea is that the more a student likes and respects you, the more they’ll want to behave and do well in your class. I remember a story from my father’s childhood where the only class he actually tried to do well in was because he really liked the teacher. Having a positive attitude, getting down on a child’s level, being silly with them, and letting them know you care are all great ways to build a relationship and thereby improve your classroom management abilities. I thoroughly enjoyed Mrs. Coty’s dissertation on knowing where students are going and where they’ve been in order to tailor your lessons to their academic needs.
The overall goal of the book is to give guidance and understanding of how to help a student regulate themselves in given situations so they can complete a desired task. Often, students with self-regulation issues appear as students that are not trying hard enough to complete a task or defiant toward a task and are trying to get out of a task (McClelland, "Development and Self-Regulation"). However, the students are more likely trying to regulate themselves through actions that are not appropriate to the external situation. I have experienced students with self-regulation issues.

Another quote that supports is, “I believe being able to connect with students is only possible after learning how to connect with oneself.” This shows that it is good to connect with people and find out who they really are before you judge them. The last supportive quote is, “I believe that a good teacher eventually learns to welcome the child who will push her explode button, trample on her last nerve and ultimately expose a deeply hidden flaw.” This shows that even people that annoy you, you should tolerate because after time it will be easy to ignore them and become friends with them instead of hating them for their flaws.

I walked in knowing that I was going to face the same struggles that I did in the previous years. With the help of one of my elementary teachers Mrs. Grham I walked out with one of the highest reading EOG scores in the class; something I thought that I would never be capable of doing. It was my freshman and sophomore year of high school when my teacher Mrs. Lewis impacted my life with her substantial amount of knowledge in writing and making me into a better writer and speaker. Without these two teachers dedicating their time and transferring their knowledge tome I would not be where I am; I will never
The truth is that the name of the course, The Caring Classroom could be truly understood only after you finish the course. Initially, I thought that in this course, we will get tools to create a caring classroom and when I state tools I mean like strategies. Something which can add to our own ways of dealing with a class. However, throughout the course, the most influential insights that I got to discover were actually regarding myself, which truly surprised me. I got to know myself better, and it is not like I did not know already most of the things I discovered.
