Environment In A Classroom Environment

In childcare Centre classroom environment is really important. Children are spending an enormous amount of their time in the classroom. In Reggio Emilia approach environment is considering as “a third teacher” because children can teach themselves if the environment is well designed. The classroom environment

According to Jackie Kay there are many different ways people write, it is not a set structure in which everyone follows: “There is no “correct” method. The right method is one that works for the person, and produces the goods” (2010). Reading through many texts, it is clearly shown throughout that it is highly important to have the connection between understanding the many different contexts behind the writing to teaching it in the classroom. Throughout schooling there has always been a set writing structure teachers follow to instruct children on how to write, but without knowledge of the social and cultural context behind the writing teachers are just teaching children how to write words in English instead of writing with meaning. Writing

The IEP team must decide on the setting for special education services to be delivered bearing in mind the setting chosen must be the least restrictive environment to meet the needs of the student. The majority of students will be expected to place in the general education setting because it is the least restrictive; however, it may not be the most appropriate setting for some students. There is a continuum of placements so that the needs of all students are met. Resource is another option for students that may not be successfully educated in the general education classroom environment. General education and resource are the two least restrictive educational environments, with general education being the least restrictive. General education means the student will spend more than 80% of the time in the general education setting, while resource means the student will spend 40-79% of time in the general education setting. Within a general education placement, the special education teacher spends time in general education classrooms so that multiple student’s IEP goals are addressed. With resource placement, the student is removed from the general education setting for portions of each day. There are a variety of instructional

The type of classroom environment that a teacher creates and encourages affects a student's ability to learn and feel comfortable as a member of the class. Such an atmosphere is one in which all students feel enthusiastic, comfortable, included, valued, and respected. Implementing a few strategies can help teachers to develop a strong sense of community in their students and encourage positive interaction. For this, they need to broadly focus on two areas:

concepts of how to do certain things, but they never truly learn how to apply it until they experience that moment in a real life situation. When you take learning outside of the classroom, there are no restrictions on what you can explore. With sources like books and the internet a person can explore whatever topic interests them. Whenever I learned about something new I would research it online and I try to learn the basics of that subject so that I can get a broad understanding of it.

The overall functioning of a classroom is impacted by trust, safety, and consistency. When a student does not feel safe he or she will reflect this through his or her behavior. Trust is important for students to take risks and allow learning to occur in the classroom. Trust, safety, and consistency are beneficial in the learning environment. A classroom where students feel safe, realize the teacher is consistent, and trust is developed, will allow students to grow and change socially, emotionally, and academically. This will offer a positive learning environment.

Skinner believed that the goal of psychology should be practical (Lieberman, 2000). As it relates to education, Skinner believed the goal of psychology should be to find ways to make education enjoyable and effective for all students. His learning theory relied on the assumption that the best way to modify behavior was to modify the environment. Skinner was a

Click on the “Resources” Tab in the classroom. Click on “Syllabus." What are all the different sections found in the Syllabus? Look at the “Overall” and “Current” sections of the syllabus. (Hint: they might be the orange sections on the left of the screen.)

It is no secret that students will perform to a higher degree when in an environment that is safe and inclusive. We as teachers are responsible for creating these safe environments and there are many different components that makeup a successful classroom environment. In the following reflection I will discuss strategies that I believe are important to fostering a successful classroom environment and why I consider them to be important.

Studying is frequently associated with struggling. For students, studying is their own choice made after a careful consideration and checking the pros and cons. For kids, studying is what they are obliged to do. They do not even understand the importance of education and do only what their parents tell them. Frequently, they take education like a punishment or like an obligation that brings them nothing but a plenty of negative emotions. However, a teacher can always change the attitude of kids to the studying process. Creating a comfortable classroom atmosphere, a teacher can motivate kids for better results.

Now, I did not have time to go to my locker, which meant going to my next class without my textbook. Shaky, I went to my next class. The thing with a bully is that no matter how dulled his or her social graces were, getting away with it was an art. My encounter lasted seconds, fifteen at most. The hallways between bells were usually crowded, to those standing at their lockers and those rushing out to get from one class to the next. Some were talking with kids they would not otherwise see. The hallways of a school are always the most active area during the day.

On May 1o of 2016 I went into room 7 at Roswell Head start to observe in the classroom. The teacher in that room was Lisa and the assistant was Jessica and a grandma in the room. The ages of the children in the class varied from three years old to five years old. I stayed in the room observing all day from 7:45 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. which was a good seven hours. This was a mixed classroom there. They have of classroom of 19 kids enrolled in this class. The classroom environment was secure and safe and the children seemed to be happy to come to school. The classroom was bright and had the children’s pictures hanging up the word wall had the letters and numbers and they bulletin boards had the children’s homework up on the board which was bees out of the letter B and they had lambs from the children’s hand on the grass. The room was set up with the quiet centers with the quiet and the loud with the loud. The room was cluttered with things on top of the cubbies, but everything in the room was labeled with pictures and the name on the shelves, cubbies, and all the bins. The center’s had the description on it what type of development was going to be used at each of the centers. They had a music center with a CD player and CD’s and they had an assortment of instruments that could be played. They had a housekeeping center in which had a lot of different types of dress up and different types of plastic food. They had stuffed animals, hats, plates, cups, forks, spoons, and knives for the

All four processes- collaboration, consultation, teamwork, and co-teaching, as they occur in the school context, involve interaction among school personnel, families, and students working together to achieve common goals. (Dettmer, Dyck, Thurston, 2005, p. 7)

Action research is a means through which an educator stays informed of the on going trends in education with specific interest in individual content areas or classroom management techniques. Teachers need to understand these trends to better serve the students. By participating in these research activities, teachers embrace change in pedagogical strategies and learn how to best understand their students and the learning environment. These in turn opens avenues for differentiated instruction. Differentiated instruction is a teaching strategy that varies teaching techniques depending on individual student needs to meet the student at their points of need. Meeting students at their points of need and teaching them required content based using the most appropriate method should be the sole purpose for every educator. Therefore, teachers should conduct action research in their own classrooms to be better educators.

The teaching and learning environment has been shifting towards instruction that is learner centric where students construct their own understandings and the curriculum and pedagogy addresses the evolving needs of these learners (Softlink, 2013; O’Connell, 2012a; ASLA, 2013). Schools exist in a changing educational landscape which now centres around the skills of critical thinking and problem solving, communication and collaboration and creativity and innovation (Starkey, 2012; Trilling & Fadel, 2009). Library education now and in the future should be less focused on particular practices of the library, and more on the needs of its users and fostering these skills (Lonsdale, 2003).
