This video explains body language and different ways to make your students more comfortable at the beginning of class. With body language, she shows that she is willing to work with them and by not hiding behind her desk she shows that she is a part of them. This relates to Social Emotion Learning in making relationships with her students and social awareness. She is doing things to make all of her students feel more welcome and involved. 

Rachel's way of teaching is a good way to engage her students.  I do not like to be in anyone's personal space, however, it did work well for the students when going into the classroom.  It gives the students the notion that it's time to learn and work and talking should cease upon entering the classroom.

1. Is your body language helping or hurting you get your class off to a good start?
   It depends on the day.  Over the last few years, I've started pausing on the way to class to make sure that I leave any distractions or frustrations I have outside the classroom in order to come in with a positive outlook.  The days I do this the beginning of class goes better.
2. How?
   "If Burnett is having a bad day, you'll have a bad day" has been said about my classes at times.  Students can sense my tone and energy by how I look at the beginning of a class.  The days where I am positive and have a loose body language, those days have better results in class.
3. Why does the teacher "crowd the door" as students file in for class?
   This allows the teacher to change the energy from a chaotic hallway to a more quiet and focused classroom.
4. How does the teacher use her gaze and overall affect to manage the classroom?
   By constantly monitoring the room, the students know she has expectations for their behaviour and follow her expectations.

Every teacher has their own method of teaching students. But if the teacher wants to be a professional one, he should pay attention to the body language and gestures. From my point of view the body language is one of the essential keys of conducting a class. During the lesson the attitude through which the teacher exposes himself can definitely influence the interrelation between students. As I am a future teacher,I looked for videos about rules of behaving during the teaching process. And I found this video very helpful for my prospective career. I like the way of holding the lesson used by Rachel especially her interaction with thestudents. I hope I will use this techniques during my classes, in order to achieve success and improve students' skills

It is known that effective usage of body language by the teacher helps to establish a good relationship between teacher and students. Through the gestures, mime teacher is able to dictate her presence. When it comes to video, I agree with that part where Cris Caswell talked about the personal space. As a student, I will also appreciate personal space, especially in such an area as hallway, because it is one of the places where students can relax and feel a little distracted of their lessons. But the whole process of conducting the lesson was rather preferable. I think each teacher should use body language in order to make his lessons more productive and to earn the trust of the students. In future I hope I will also be able to find a good usage for such skills and techniques. Thank you for the cognitive video.
