A positive classroom environment:
I think that a positive classroom environment depends on the teachers and students attitude. As teachers, we can start improving our personality and behavior, and then, we will lead the students into the environment we desire.
The respect toward each student is fundamental; we can have fun with them, but we also have to set some limits. Having a fun class doesn’t mean to disrespect the others.
Each student is important in the class; therefore we have to value them as persons and assist their needs.
There are teachers who try to intimidate their students to have a, let’s say, a peaceful class, but students don’t learn appropriately in those circumstances because the environment is tense. Teachers have to learn to manage with those disruptive students so that the rest of the class can be normal and the environment can be amazing.
Teachers have to drag students into a relaxed relationship, and they also have to work as a community; as members of the community, teachers have to be reliable and real friends.
This is what I consider can contribute to create a positive classroom environment.
Henry,
ResponderEliminarrespect is something that has been disappearing in our educational system. I believe most of our current social issues stem from losing the main aspect in teachers´and students´relationship. TEachers are not respecting students and vice versa. It´s a shame to listen to some students saying very awful comments about teachers. Anyways this is a reality and we somehow must work hard to change this issue.
Word up, I share most of those ideas, congrats on the work man.
ResponderEliminaryeah, every time you will find students who want to call your attention by bothering others and that´s why that since the very beginning respects and many other roles have to be stablished. i agree with most of what Henry wrote
ResponderEliminarWE HAVE TO MAKE STUDENTS UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE MOMENTS TO SAY JOKES AND LAUGH BUT THERE ARE MOMENTS IN WHICH THEY HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION. WE WILL NOT BE LAUGHING ALL THE TIME.
