Fluorescent lights are very harsh on the eyes. As such, for children to be more successful in learning, soft and natural lights are key. If at all possible, my classrooms would have unobstructed windows to allow sunlight to illuminate the room, so that students' physiological needs may be met from Vitamin D in sunlight. Natural light also helps naturalistic learners to be more connected to lessons. Many classrooms, however, do not have exterior walls. If this were the case, I would use soft lighting tones to make students feel relaxed, fulfilling their safety needs, and encourage learning while still having enough light to see all assignments. Indirect lighting also allows for a more homey and welcoming classroom environment, which as a teacher I need to be comfortable with.

Subject-relevant decorations would be utilized to help students recall earlier lessons and build on class activity. The math poster example would help musical learners, because the acronym would be repeated in unison, then displayed to help the students remember. This poster would be initially brought up in a lesson, then frequently referenced by students and teachers alike to activate the amygdala, which is the part of the brain that controls if memories are long or short-term. The lower posters are an example of a buildable decoration. These types of decorations start blank and students slowly add to them. This is perfect for Global learners because it introduces broad concepts and smaller details are added later. As a teacher, I would use this to keep students engaged, as they can constantly be checking the posters for new and old information. For the decorations to be successful, I would consistently reference and highlight the bulletin boards and posters during lesson time.
