 * __Artifacts__**

These artifacts show that I understand concepts and principles related to standard 5. Artifact 1 teaches the importance of having knowledge on human behavior. Students that come into the classroom from all over the world will bring in with them different cultural upbringing. It is important to have a large knowledge base of verbal and nonverbal communications from other countries. Effective teachers try to ensure that the classroom is as positive as possible and students will be much more motivated when they have been treated with respect and have been positively encouraged to learn. Artifact 2 reflects standard 5 because this artifact is full of strategies to promote positive relationships, cooperation, and purposeful learning in the classroom. This classroom layout was specifically designed to produce a more positive learning environment. This layout also shows that as a future educator, I know that something as basic as a classroom design is an important asset for the students to grow in a richer learning environment.
