This video relates to classroom instruction when thinking about modeling because students pick up on everything. Anything you do at the front of the classroom, could be copied by your students. I think modeling is a very effective form of teaching, and the model is most effective when he/she is modeling something that the students are interested in and something of which they show enthusiasm. In my classroom, I would obviously be a model, being a teacher at the front of the room. But, students that perform just as the model has asked, also serve as effective models for their peers. Students might serve as more effective models than teachers, because if another student sees his/her peer modeling an action, they will also want to be able to model that action.
Society and culture greatly influence learning. Like we all have experienced, that ONE male teacher in the building is the teacher that every boy and a lot of girls want to have, because it's cool and different to have a male teacher. Also, boys are more likely to respond positively to a male teacher, and girls are more likely to respond positively to a female teacher.
In my future classroom, one distinguishing factor will be that all of my students will walk silently in the hallways, and not cut corners in the hallway. Each student will do this because they know it is expected of them, and they will be punished if the teacher hears/sees otherwise.

I think talking about how other students are the most effective models for one another is great. I completely agree with you that students really do show each other the most amount of new things. They can definitely be great models for behavior especially if we do something such as a student of the month. Students would be more apt to perform the behaviors the student of the month did in hopes of becoming the next. I also think teaching the kids good habits will help a lot such as the quietness in the hallway. it will teach the kids how things are run in the school and just how to follow rules properly!
