Good Learning Environment

​As a parent it is good to know what an effective classroom looks like and sounds like. Here are a few things that make up a good learning environment:

• In an effective classroom the teacher will be praising students who are following expectations instead of correcting students who are not following expectations.
• Students will be engaged by asking questions and responding, with their attention on the teacher or task.
• The teacher will be checking for student understanding. This can be in the form of student verbal responses, holding up white boards, modeling with manipulatives, or telling a partner, etc.
