Positive Learning Environment

Everyone should have an opportunity to learn in a positive environment, to enjoy the learning process and feel comfortable and content within it.

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.
