Emotionally Safe Environment.

For this task You will demonstrate your knowledge of how to create an emotionally safe environment with classroom management and how to intervene using instruction and technology. Apply this knowledge to the grade level you desire to teach and adapt or highlight aspects of the scenario to relate it more to your grade level.
Scenario:
Elementary School:
You are a teacher in a classroom of 20 students who vary greatly in academic and social skill levels. Some of them are very good in all subjects, some are good in mathematics but do not read well, others are good readers but not very proficient in mathematics, and a few are struggling with every subject. Joey continually talks out of turn, loudly, and off topic. Sarah cannot seem to sit in her seat and wanders around the room, distracting other students. Often when Sarah starts wandering, you notice several other students do the same thing. George can get out of control (although not frequently), striking out at other students or you and throwing his books and papers on the floor. Because Bridgett needs continual confirmation that she is doing her work correctly, she demands your constant attention. Usually, Walden barely talks in class, but when you discussed the solar system, he became enthusiastic and more talkative. When Nancy is interested in the topic, she can concentrate much better than when she thinks the lesson is boring and useless. Nancy, George, Sarah, and several other classmates are members of an extracurricular photography and movie-making club while Walden, Joey, Bridgett, and several other classmates attend a NASA-supported science camp.

 Requirements:
A. Analyze one student from the chosen scenario above by doing the following:
