Creating Positive Learning Environment

If we have created the positive learning environment in the class room will allow students to learn comfortably and relaxed. (anonymous, 2012) In positive learning environment will provide the opportunities to learn self-motivated. This should be a primary goal for all teachers, since lack of motivation is often the root of disciplinary issues.

If the class room is a positive learning environment, then the students will be aware of the class room tasks and they will be awake for the due dates and the upcoming events. A number of factors contribute to a positive learning environment for your students. Three of the most important ones are core ideals, ambience and expectations. (anonymous, 2012)

Core Ideals: Each teacher will have different standards and values in the classroom, but the only universally important element is that these remain consistent so that students know what to expect and what is expected of them.(anonymous, 2012)

Ambience: This is an extremely important – and fun – part of creating a positive learning environment. Your classroom should be a dynamic and engaging place to be for your students. What would you think if you walked into an elementary classroom with nothing on the walls? Weird… If you have to move from room to room, have a portable poster for each group you teach, and this will establish a similar sense of belonging. Keep their past projects so that they know that their work is valued.(anonymous, 2012)

Expectations: If you establish your expectations for student behaviour early and keep them consistent, you may be able to avoid many classroom management issues. Laying down the ground rules early in your relationship with a class is quintessential to your success as a teacher. Involve your students in this to be sure that they are aware of the rules and the consequences. This is another great way to add to the ambience of your classroom – post the ground rules and always lean towards positive, rather than negative, re-enforcement of them. (anonymous, 2012)
