How does the classroom flow and organization promote student learning?
Environment is important because it can set an entire mood. A colorful and welcoming classroom can make the learning environment feel like a positive place. Decorations can be educational, but also look nice. Aligning desks up in groups can help promote working with others as well as build bonds between students. An area in which the class as a whole can gather can help the teacher bond with their class as well as help let students know when something is a group lesson. Students need somewhere they feel safe and comfortable in to be able to learn to their full potential. It also is important to make sure the classroom can flow efficiently and not feel overcrowded. This way, transition periods can feel less chaotic.
