Everyone should have an
opportunity to learn in a positive environment, to enjoy the learning process
and feel comfortable and content within it.
-Barry Saide
Classroom environment is one of the most important factors
affecting a student’s learning process. A positive classroom environment helps to imbibe a sense of belonging, improve
attention and supports emotional and behavioral patterns of students.
At NewAge, we believe
teachers foster a positive
learning culture wherein children are more likely to acquire higher motivation that
leads to wonderful learning outcomes. Children need an atmosphere where they are free to ask
anything, learn anything and grow. Maintaining a positive environment in
classroom keeps them positive and makes them good learners.
Benefits of a Positive Learning Environment
We at NewAge are of the belief that
providing a positive learning experience for our students is of the utmost
importance as a child feels encouraged to tackle challenges, take risks and ask
questions. We believe the most important aspect in a
safe and positive learning environment is the rapport between a teacher and
students. When the students understand that their teacher cares about them and
wants them to do well, students also feel comfortable asking questions, making
mistakes and taking risks in order to learn something new.
· Encouraging Active Engagement
Throughout daily
activities the students should be part of a collaborative learning effort,
sharing their strengths and encouraging each other. The teacher also may
introduce a number of jobs or responsibilities that students need to complete
in order to maintain the physical .Active engagement
helps
students develop skills including thinking critically, using knowledge and
information to solve complex problems, working collaboratively, communicating
effectively, learning how to learn, and developing academic mindsets.
· Building a supportive learning culture
Students should feel
supported by all those connected to their learning experience. It helps to
share an understanding of what is a positive school climate at the school and
classroom looks like so they can work together toward a common goal. With help
coming in from the teachers, students understand what to expect and
can make wise choices and take responsibility for their actions.
· Creates a conducive learning
environment
At NewAge, we ensure every child learns in a conducive
learning environment that poses no threat to their health and safety and
enhances positive learning outcomes and academic performance. By
doing so, children
also feel physically and emotionally safe. They see the classroom as a place
where they can be themselves and express themselves and their ideas without
judgment.
· Promotes a positive code of
conduct
A code of conduct in school
will provide a clear and agreed upon rules for positive behaviors that students
can follow in a classroom, also promoting healthy relationships in class
amongst peers and teachers.
Children are encouraged take progressive responsibility for their own learning,
to work consistently and complete tasks as required as we believe in learning beyond chairs and tables. Students are expected to behave with courtesy
and consideration for others, thus fostering a positive learning environment.
Children are taught to
channelize their negative thought to a positive action so as to make them feel
good from inside, it would work as a powerful intrinsic motivator and develop
the students’ well-being.
