It is well known among educators that the classroom environment can have a profound impact, good or bad, on student learning and achievement.\u00a0 The design, layout, seating arrangement, d\u00e9cor, and even lighting can go a long way toward setting the tone, \u201cfeel,\u201d and atmosphere of a classroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Therefore, it is not surprising that a primary goal of educators is to create and establish a positive learning environment in the classroom, as much as depends on them.\u00a0 The last phrase is a key admission because teachers often have to work in less than ideal environments under less than ideal circumstances.\u00a0 The experienced educator is all too aware of these limitations, which routinely include events and situations beyond immediate control (e.g., room size, broken air conditioner, lack of resources).<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-40px||-40px|” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/vimeo.com\/162923688″ admin_label=”Video” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”555c738d-8a9c-45ea-ae41-782b5fb56891″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding=”|||0px” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]
In my seminar I focus on utilizing what can be used and applying what can be applied.\u00a0 What works for one teacher may not for another, and even in the same classroom, what is optimal for one learning context may not be for another. However, regardless of your situation, at least two factors remain constant: the physical design of your classroom must take into account both learning and behavioral consequences.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”555c738d-8a9c-45ea-ae41-782b5fb56891″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]
It is natural for teachers to focus on the former at the expense of the latter, but in fact, both are essential and interrelated.\u00a0 For example, some seating arrangements that are \u201coptimal\u201d for learning can actually invite misbehavior, depending on the classroom \u201cchemistry\u201d and emotional maturity of the students.\u00a0 Misbehavior, in turn, interferes with the desired goal of learning.\u00a0 It is of vital importance, then, for the teacher to consider how the physical design of his or her classroom supports not only learning but also appropriate student behavior.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#EA445A” divider_weight=”2px” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”75%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”46px||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}” global_module=”3793″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text Module – Classroom Management Benefits for Students” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”555c738d-8a9c-45ea-ae41-782b5fb56891″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]

This training will help to raise test scores for your students, decrease discipline challenges, and improve classroom rapport. You will learn how to meet students where they are and lead them where they need to be, capture attention, and promote deeper learning.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4″ custom_padding_last_edited=”off|” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_button button_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjExMyIsImVuYWJsZV9odG1sIjoib2ZmIn19@” button_text=”Request Quote” button_alignment=”center” admin_label=”Button-Request Quote” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _dynamic_attributes=”button_url” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”19″ button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0)” button_border_color=”#FFFFFF” button_letter_spacing_hover=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”on” button_letter_spacing__hover=”0″ button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover=”#FFFFFF”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_button button_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjEyMSIsImVuYWJsZV9odG1sIjoib2ZmIn19@” button_text=”Visit My Store” button_alignment=”center” admin_label=”Button-Visit Store” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _dynamic_attributes=”button_url” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”19″ button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0)” button_border_color=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{}” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”on” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover=”0″ button_text_color__hover=”#FFFFFF”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
