Innovating
I adapt behaviors and create new strategies for unique student needs and situations.
A teacher uses verbal and nonverbal indicators to make all her students feel welcome and valued in her class. She often high-fives students or gives a pat on the back as encouragement. She notices, however, that one reluctant learner seems uncomfortable with this, so she modifies her implementation with that student to give him the personal space he needs.

Applying
I exhibit behaviors that demonstrate value and respect for reluctant learners and I monitor the impact on reluctant learners.
A teacher uses words and gestures to affirm his value and respect for all his students. He keeps track of behaviors from reluctant learners that indicate they are becoming more comfortable in the classroom, as well as instances in which students treat one another with respect. He is able to see that both these indicators are increasing as he becomes more proficient with this element.

Developing
I exhibit behaviors that demonstrate value and respect for reluctant learners, but I do not monitor the effects on students.
A teacher has consciously begun to identify her expectations of various students and adjust her behavior to demonstrate value and respect for all students, but she has not collected any evidence of the impact this might be having on her reluctant learners.

Beginning
I use the strategies and behaviors associated with this element incorrectly or with parts missing.
A teacher is generally friendly and respectful to all students. She notices that she does not have as many personal interactions with the reluctant learners in her class, yet she does not change her behavior.

Not Using
