The classroom environment is the beginning to a successful learning style, the people make up part of that but the classroom itself plays a role as well. What is put on the walls, bulletin boards, the way the positive and negative rewards are put in place all needs to be established to make the environment of the classroom be successful.
The way I want my classroom environment to be is that everyone RESPECTS everyone in all aspects, learning, playing games, lining up to go to lunch, walking in the hall to go to P.E. and all parts of the day. I have seen the importance of a good classroom environment, while I was at field I had the opportunity to witness how different styles work for some teachers and some students. During center time the class spread out their desks any where in the classroom but could not be touching another students desk and they do their work. The teacher said that this is the only year she has done this in her 10 years of teaching.
I also have had the chance to see where certain aspects of the "classroom environment" needed to be improved to help students learning. I have also learned that what is one the walls the students only notice if they see it being put up. So involve the students to make the environment work for all.
