Creating an effective physical classroom environment

Creating an effective physical classroom environment  is important:

• —The physical environment reflects the expectations of the teacher of how the room should be used.
• —Well-organized classroom can stimulate learning, help building a classroom community and will help students to be self-motivated, disciplined and responsible

Physical conditions to consider:

• —Cleanliness, light and temperature of the room.
• —Bulletin board, white board display 
• —Seating arrangement 
• —Learning areas depending on the grade to teach
• —Adequate and organized places for students to put their belonging
• —A calendar
• —Plants to make the classroom more welcoming

Large classes present a number of difficulties for example:

• —Learners are not sure of the purpose of the instruction
• —They don’t have the opportunity to read widely
• —They can’t get help from the educator to support independent work
• There is a lack of opportunity for discussion
• ——The educator has difficulty motivating the learners
