How can you establish a classroom climate that promotes appropriatebehaviors and acceptance of all students?
Before learning can occur in our classroom, we must establish and providestudents with a positive classroom climate. This means that teachers considereach student’s physical and emotional safety needs, while also setting up thephysical environment for organization and accessibility. Creating a communitywithin the learning environment allows children to feel safe and supported by thepeople around them, teaching them how to work as a team. We can create thiscommunity by teaching our students respect for diversity in our classroom,respect for their peers and their property, and respect for the classroom materialsprovided to them. The

Timemanagement is another key to create a productive environment. When instruction
and activities are rushed, effective learning cannot occur. We need to take intoaccount instructional and non-instructional tasks when managing our time.Teacher’s enthusiasm about a subject also plays a part in the productiveenvironment. We must show our interest in the material, in turn, sparking ourstudents’ interest to learn and remain attentive.
You can give the students a chance to show they can be trust worthy by lettingthem sit where they like, but explain the consequences when a behavior problemarises. Let them you will make a change in the setting arrangement. Always makesure you have a clear view of the entire classroom and the area where the workstation are located. Your classroom management plan should be consistence withand include the service available in your school’s positive behavioral supportsystem (Leedy, Bates, and Safran, 2004; Stormont, Lewis, and Beckner, 2005;Strout, 2005). A school wide approach to supporting the learning and positivebehavior of all students involves the collaboration and commitment of educators,students, and family and community members to:
• Agree on unified expectations, rules, and procedures;• Use wrap around school and community based services and interventions;• Create a caring, warm, and safe learning environment and community ofsupport• Understand and address students diversity;• Offer a meaningful and
A.) Explain why it is important to promote appropriate behaviour and respect for others (ref. 2.2) It is important to promote appropriate behaviuor and respect for others in the class to create a safe and comfortable learning environment in which learners feel at ease to express their opinion, participate in classroom discussions and activities and ask questions allowing learners to complete their work to the best of their ability and ultimately achieve their goals. Each learner may have different religious or cultural backgrounds and even different learning needs. Therefore it is important to create a learning atmosphere that promotes the appropriate behavior and respect for others. A good way of achieving this positive learning environment
(2.1) Explain ways to maintain a safe and supportive learning environment? Culturally responsive classroom environments use space to support learning. To use space effectively, teachers create different types of work environments for students, arrange the space for easy movement throughout the classroom, provide students with personal space, organize resources for easy access, prominently display student work products, ensure that print and non-print resources representing diverse background, values, points of view, lifestyles, and abilities are visible and easily accessible, and celebrate the contribution of all members of the classroom community.
The Strategic Diversity plan in ELAD 7073 addresses the ethical practice one must maintain while promoting an environment that is safe and non-threatening to the student’s within it. A school administrator should oversee the facilitation of sound practices and opportunities for the students through constant observation of behavioral practices modeled by the staff in their teaching. I do this through classroom walk-throughs. I observe within the classroom and
In a diverse classroom each student will be attended based on their individual need and teachers will meet each child at their level. Student will be treated equally regardless of their cultural background or socioeconomic status. By providing a good classroom management system, we will have a respectful and inclusive class culture. Establishing good classroom routines is essential to creating a positive environment for students to focus on learning. The follow sections cover those routine in our class
I believe that each child is unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire as an educator to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invite a sharing of ideas. There are three elements that I believe are conducive to establishing such an environment namely, the teacher acting guide, allowing the child’s natural curiosity to direct his/her learning, promoting respect for all the things and all the people.
School climate consists of the attitudes, beliefs, values that underlie students’ academic success. School climate helps to shape the communication between and among students, teachers, administrators, parents, and the community. The continued promotion of the expectation that diverse groups of students can be successful and the maintenance of a school climate conducive to academic productivity are important initiatives toward improving student achievement. According to Schwartz, the recognition of the many unique cultures within a school and incorporating the characteristics of these cultures into the learning environment contribute positively to the success of students as well as develop the skills for students of these cultures to be social successes in adulthood (Schwartz, 2001). A safe, orderly and healthy school climate also promotes mutual respect between students, teachers and administrators and emphasizes a well-publicized, fair, and uniform code of conduct. Schools must become caring and learning communities. It is important to impress a caring attitude upon students early before they become unreachable. School climate not only impacts students, but teachers and administrators as well. Research indicates that African American students who attend schools that are supportive and caring have significantly higher achievement, as perceived by their teachers, and school administrators. The schools’ characteristics that correlated with higher levels of achievement were cooperation among teachers and administrators, support for students, and clear expectations about the mission of the school. Goddard, Sweetland, and Hoy conducted a study with a population of 60% African American students and concluded that poor and minority students are more likely to excel when there is a school climate promoting academic excellence (Goddard, Sweetland, and Hoy,
For students to thrive in the classroom, I must ensure that they have a positive space they can come to and feel comfortable. If students don’t feel safe in their classroom then learning will not happen. I must build a caring and supportive space for children so they can succeed and feel loved. This will help develop a sense of belonging to a school. I have to remember that it is not my classroom, it is the students! It is imperative that the students, parents, and coworkers in my school feel they can come to me for anything, especially as one of their
School should be a community that is warm, respectful, and open. Students spend approximately 30 hours a week in the classroom and it is imperative they are able to
It is my strong belief that each child is entitled to a safe, secure, stimulating and caring learning environment. I always believed that each child is a unique individual with much curiosity and many academic, social and emotional needs. Children need our support in order to mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. As a teacher, one should aim to help students in fulfilling their dreams to become successful and educated individuals. We must provide them with a safe learning environment for their learning to succeed.
A positive learning environment requires consistency within the classroom and by the teacher. Rules need to be established in the classroom. Students and teachers need to understand and agree upon the rules and procedures of the classroom.
Another way to build the emotional climate in a classroom or group setting to motivate a child or adolescent is “Acceptance by Peers” in which a child “needs to feel safe in the classroom,
What do you describe as an ideal environment for working together with students, their families, co-educators, and related services personnel and support personnel in the community?
There is old proverb, “Procrastination is the thief of time.” And in the classroom, one of the teacher biggest challenge is managing time-yours and the learners. Effective strategies for assisting learners manage their time begin immediately as they entered the classroom. Incorporating a daily review and, or warm-up activity at the beginning of a class period. This minimize the hectic and stressful first few minutes of a new period, day-to-day as learners arrive at their schoolroom they take a sheet of paper from a distinctly identified container and instantaneously begin to work responding to the query presented on the chalkboard, regarding the preceding tutorial. Accordingly, teaching the learners to enter, and straightaway start on the One Question Examination, since they have limited minutes to complete the assignment before their responses are accumulate and examined. (Hughes, n.d)
When I think about my role as a teacher, one of the most important things I consider is the relationships I build with my students, parents, colleagues, and community members. In the classroom, I need to ensure that I create a safe, loving, and positive learning environment. In order to make all students feel welcome, I get to know their names, the correct pronunciation and spellings, learning their culture and background, and their
The desk arrangement in the classroom will be flexible. Desks will be arranged into various formats to align with the intended learning objectives of a lesson. Desks may be placed in groups to promote collaboration and cooperation. They may be organized in a peanut formation to promote student-student and student-teacher discussion.
