Classroom Learning Environment

A child needs to be able to feel safe in order to take risks and chances in the learning process. Without a positive school and classroom climate, students are likely to not fully engage in learning and thus he/she may not willing to volunteer or participate in activities in small or large group settings. This ultimately diminishes the cognitive learning potential for the student for the short and long term.

Safety: Students know that they are physically safe and that they are not in danger in the classroom. Safety also includes students emotional and mental well-being, meaning that they will be free from emotional damage such as bulling or name-calling.

Teachers are less likely to have behavior problems when they build classroom communities because the students will have developed respect for their teacher and peers, therefore, limiting the likelihood a student causing disruptions that would distract or impact their peers in a negative manner. Students respect teachers who are, straightforward, honest, fair, and maintains control without being rude. It does not take long for students to become excited about learning. Students are eager to learn once they become members of a classroom community that offers encouragement, support, values learning and has successfully built and implemented strong community of learners. They are eager to keep their position within the classroom community, therefore, they will take the necessary steps to ensure they remain apart of the group.

Being in a new environment was overwhelming for her, but having the familiarity of her learning support teacher for her original school and myself was reassuring to her. However, this teacher was only there for the morning of her first day, this made the afternoon more difficult. After reading the article Creating an Emotionally Safe Classroom, I realize this
