In A Perfect World
If I taught in a perfect world and could have an unending supply of money, I would be
able to orchestrate the perfect classroom. If I could have an unending amount of money to build a
classroom, I would first invest in enough laptops for each student in my class. This would be a
very beneficial investment because then it allows students to use and find resources that will help
them to succeed in my class. If they each had a laptop, it would allow them to have access to
educational games that they can use to help improve their understanding of things in class. If I
had a one to one classroom, it would be easy for me to access and monitor my student’s process
as well. Having laptops or tablets in my classroom for each student would be the first thing that I
put into my perfect classroom because I believe that they would make assessing and monitoring
a lot easier and students would be able to work at their own pace on them.
Because I would have a never-ending supply of money, I would then look at my roster
and look to see what students need accommodations, then I would look to see if they were
accommodations that I could provide myself while also trying to teach all 29 of my other
students. Then if it was an accommodation that I was not possible for me to provide because of
the other students, I would hire an aid for each student that needs accommodations. This way I
would know that each student was getting the kind of attention and assistance that they need in
my classroom. It is nearly impossible to try and accommodate all students in a regular classroom
on your own because each student learns differently. But if I could hire an aid for each student to
help me monitor where they are at and to help me accommodate each students’ needs, that would
benefit their overall success. This would help me to reach all diverse learners because if one
student is not performing well because English is not their first language, then I will hire an aid
that speaks their language to help translate what the student does not understand, but they can
also teach them strategies to help get them caught up with their vocabulary.
If I worked as a teacher in a perfect world, we would not be labeling kids with a learning
disability just because they are behind in school just because of their language barrier. If a
student is not performing to standard, I would look at who the student is, if they had any
language barrier I would get them a translator. I would not just label them because they are not
performing like how they should. I would make sure that the aid that that student has knows that
This classroom will be a classroom that is accessible to ALL students. I will provide an
area in my classroom that will be a sensory area. I will provide sensory chairs, fidget spinners,
kinetic sand, and so many other sensory activities and items to help students who have sensory
issues. Providing these things will help students to calm down, it can help them to focus, there
are so many benefits to having a sensory area in my classroom. Having sensory areas also tells a
student that you care about what they need and want to help them succeed no matter what. Not
only will there be a sensory area, but there will also be a quiet area in my classroom as well. I
will provide this for students to have access too at all times during the classroom. This will be a
small area that students are able to go back to so they can sit in peace and quiet to focus on their
work. If they need a quiet place to sit and calm down also they are welcome to go to a quiet
place. I would set a time limit for both the quiet space and sensory area so that students do not
take advantage of those areas and use them as a tool to get out of doing their work. I believe that
these two items in my classroom would help assist students who are sensitive to sensory items
and it will also help students who are struggling mentally. I believe that if you take into
consideration a student’s mental health while you are teaching you will help them succeed in the
long run.
Along with all of that, I would also try and create a non-discriminatory classroom. To do
this, I will try and pick materials that all of my students can relate to. I will not just pick books
that are only about the majority. I would find books for my classroom that are about minority
groups that are represented in my class to help them feel more welcomed in my class. If they did
not have that, they would feel less welcomed and accepted in class. I would not just celebrate
Christmas in my class, I would ask all of my students what kind of holidays or traditions they
celebrate at home, and I would celebrate each tradition that my students celebrate each year. That
way students are learning about different life-styles that their peers live and they are learning
acceptance of diversity. These two methods are also cheap so it is something that I could do in a
In a perfect world, I would not have to follow specific teaching standards that are often
too much to accomplish in a year. If I taught in a perfect world, I would have a lot more freedom
to do my own thing. In my perfect world, I would set up reading groups based on reading levels,
and I would do rotations. So each group would have 30 minutes working with me on guided
reading. This guided reading time would be my students working at their own pace, meeting the
standards but I would not be rushing the students. I feel like that is a big problem with education
now. I feel like teachers have so much to cover in such a small amount of time they end up
rushing their students’ learning which will prevent them from completely retaining the
information. If I could have a classroom that was not working on a deadline, I would be able to
work with students on retention and help them successfully learn and retain information at their
Overall, if I could build the perfect classroom, I would provide all of my students with an
aid that would help assist them when I cannot physically be by every students’ side the whole
time they are working. I would create an environment for all students to feel safe and accepted in
my classroom by providing materials that include positive models of each minority group in my
classroom. I would also find a way to incorporate any traditions that students celebrate at home
so that we are not only teaching and promoting Christmas. I would also provide a sensory area, a
quiet space, and build a one to one classroom. Overall, my goal is to create a classroom that
impossible goal for learning that would result in shoving information down students’ throats and
rushing their learning. This would just create a stressful environment that would not promote
healthy learning.
