I
notice that most of the words did coordinate with what my model was displaying.
There was a connection because they were able to notice how the students and
the teacher were in a tight circle, which indicates unity and togetherness.
Although I included a rainbow and unicorn, they were still able to realize that
they were symbols of peace. They were able to connect that everyone was
included in the code of conduct. They used words such as peace, discipline,
teamwork, rules, collaborating, norms, structure, togetherness, idealistic, and
inclusion.

I
learned that I was able to convey my philosophy well and that they were able to
understand what my model was about. My model was displaying cooperative
learning and how the students and the teacher have to collaborate together to
create a safe and comfortable learning environment. This will enable students
to follow the rules because they were able to form part of creating them. They
will have a better understanding of how they should or should not behave in the
classroom. They will know what is expected of them because they are able to
cooperate with the teacher. The discipline is set so students behave because it’s
what they desire.
