As an early childhood educator, I believe the classroom environment is one of the most important factors affecting student learning. The artifacts provided will show a culturally responsive environment with clear learning goals and feedback, opportunities for student choice, flexible seating, and positive relationships with both students and parents. This year, I added various flexible seating options to provide more choice for students. Students are taught how to choose a workplace where they can be successful. I participated in two school wide initiatives to improve classroom climate. I assigned classroom greeters and promoted Hampton HELPERs.
