Physical Environment

Indicator Overview

The physical environment of a classroom refers to the way a classroom is set up. From the accessibility and visibility that it offers to the distractibility that it can avoid, it pertains to everything from the way the materials in the room are arranged to how easily students can see the board, projection screen, teachers, etc. Taking care of all these aspects in a classroom ensures a positive physical environment where students can concentrate on their studies, without falling for any kind of distraction. A well-maintained and safe physical environment fosters students’ ability to learn, to show improved achievement scores, and to exhibit appropriate behavior.
