Turning Point: Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Creating a healthy and safe learning environment for your students is one of the most important things a that a teacher can do to me. In the book, it talks about the importance and role of rules in the classroom. Not only do they help set guidelines for appropriate behavior but they are also a way to ensure student safety. The importance of health and physical education in schools is also brought up. I completely agree and think that every student should be able to have at least 30 minutes a day to get some sort of exercise. Not only to help them stay physically fit but to help them de-stress and to improve academically.
