Classroom Environment
What is classroom environment, and why is it important?
What is classroom environment, and why is it important?
Our classroom environment is the first thing that students experience. It sets the tone for everything that follows. What is in our space and how we organize it reveals what we value, and it has a profound impact on learning.*
Students and teachers can regularly look and refer to what is displayed on the classroom walls.*
Classroom displays, resources, and materials reflect the rich diversity of our students and the world.*
A well-designed space immediately tells students that they are safe, welcome, and valued.*
