** Teachers know how to manage a classroom. **  The teacher uses an understanding of individual and group motivation and behavior to create a learning environment that encourages positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self-motivation. **Evidence 1:** My filamentality hotlist [] **Rationale 1:** This filamentality hotlist, entitled “Lifestyles of the Not So Rich and Famous,” was developed for use in my communication skills class for a unit on pricing the cost of lifestyle elements. The unit requires students to consult a number of websites to determine costs of various lifestyle elements. The hotlist enables students to link directly to the websites, rather than having to type them in. The links are organized by categories, so students can easily find the resources they need, and having them all in one place allows students to work independently. These factors help increase student motivation and increase engagement in their learning. This hotlist enables students to be self-motivated by giving them the tools to work at their own pace. Finding all of the necessary websites in one place and being able to connect to them easily decreases frustration and increases student motivation and engagement. ** provide active and equitable engagement of students in productive tasks. ** The hotlist enables students to work at their own pace, thus decreasing the downtime spent waiting for all students in the classroom to catch up. All students can be productive in the activity during the class time given. Because students are working at their own pace, they are able to spend more time on those things that interest them most. This active role in their learning creates motivation for future learning experiences. [[home|
