Analysis/Reflection:
Definition of Trust (drawn from the curated artifact and one peer-referenced article)
According to the curated artifacts, trust, is used to create effective relationships between both teachers and students to influence a students learning in a positive way (youtube video: What is trust, and why does it matter to teachers?). The basic purpose of trust in a classroom is to create psychological safety for the students to create optimal learning in a safe environment. Also, teachers who use a relational approach are more likely to have students who exhibit lower defiant behaviours. In addition, the article found that students see themselves as cooperative and engaged with the course materials and activities in classes with teachers who are focused on building relationships to reduce discipline problems by developing mutual trust (Gregory & Ripski, 2008, p. 344-345). Once teachers and students develop these ideal relationships they are put into a position of trust and now have the obligations and responsibilities to maintain these values by example.

Why the Resource informs my understanding of the OCT standard "trust":
The resources offer a definition of trust in an educational setting and is often used and referred to in educational literature making it very hard to define it in concrete terms. The artifacts that I chose based its definitions on student trust in teacher authority and relational approaches to discipline (Gregory & Ripski, 2008, p. 344-345). The youtube resource on the other hand took trust as an effective relationship between both students and teachers who create positive learning environments together; developing confidence, motivation and the willingness to engage in the activities (youtube video: What is trust, and why does it matter to teachers?).
Level of Reflection:
When establishing trust in a classroom its very important that both the students and teachers share a mutual respect for each other creating a positive learning atmosphere. I need to develop an understanding of my students, parents and staffs ideas and suggestions to create and develop my own personal skills to fully understand the impact of my teaching style my students education. By developing these skills I will increase my ability to create a culturally inclusive classroom so I can address and challenge their unique needs and expectations to insure that my students are receiving the best learning experience they could have. By reflecting on ways to make your classroom more inclusive teachers will develop better relationships with their students as they will be aware of their students specific learning needs and how to dress them in a meaningful way.
