Classroom set-up or design Fuglei explains that the teachers know that changing their classroom layout can shake things up, and recent research supports this: Classroom design influences students’ behavior. More surprisingly, the classroom has a significant and lasting effect on students’ performance. Researchers at the University of Salford have been assessing the influence of classroom design on student performance. While teachers are often faced with a fixed classroom design that would be unreasonably costly to change, several of the design feature in the study – natural light, noise control, and even color usage and classroom orientation – can be considered when creating a classroom layout. An effective classroom should be safe, comfortable, and allow for students to take full advantages of available classroom resources. National Center for Quality Teacher and Learning (NCQTL) suggests that classroom have areas with home-like features such as pillows and rugs. This increase the level of comfort in the classroom while allowing sensory students a small crash area or space to withdraw. Schools should make their classrooms homey so the students can focus on their studies and would be comfortable enough inside the classroom. If the students are not comfortable and irritable inside their classroom there are chances that the student would be absent for a day so, to prevent absenteeism students should feel comfortable inside the classroom.

Most classrooms are analogous in their basic structure. They typically consist of the essential accessories such as chairs, tables, and desks. However moving past the basic structures they become more unique. Their distinguished qualities, often correspond with varying influential factors. These factors include, instructor and subject matter, school setting, and student population.
A problem that we as students of Huston- Tillotson University see on a daily basis would be how our furnishings reflect us academic students. In order to improve our campus in ways that can benefit our learning environment in a positive way we would like to focus on how our presentation produces productivity. The ultimate goal we want to achieve is implementing growth within our campus by providing a much more modern look to our furniture in our high activity areas of campus to produce academic involvement. We plan to attack this problem by employing multiple methods such as raising awareness by surveying, observing, and also researching the benefits new furnishings would give.
In a world where things are always changing and getting better we get to the topic of Osage High School and its change. The school has turned a little outdated with not adding the proper improvements like other school have in the area. Now I am totally for the new renovations of the school to in hopes to get student more comfortable and proud of the school.

The children in a school are valued, with an environment that fully encourages and celebrates their learning and progression and how they are developing. The provision of a safe and secure learning environment for all its pupils should be provided through recognizing the importance of welcoming diversity and equal opportunities. The atmosphere within a school should be positive, with this being reflected in the attitudes of the staff and pupils, all caring for and taking pride in their surroundings and in how the learning journey of each pupil takes

At Frist Presbyterian Church of Bakerstown I learned while observing and interacting how some of the different set up of areas impacted a student’s learning and space. Some of the areas were used for quiet time, noisier activities, and more active learning. This related to the (Component 2e) because organizing physical space around the classroom provides the student a variety of ways to learn together or alone inside the classroom while also developing their social skills and working through any academic or social difficulties (Component 2d). Lastly, at Head Start the lead teacher provided the students with daily duties inside the classroom. For example, some of the students had the responsibility to clean up stations, and prepare the snack/lunch for the class.

U1 AC 2.1 - Explain ways to maintain a safe and supportive learning environment. A number of ways to establish a safe and supportive learning environment is to stay within what is deemed as conventional rules and disciplines. A typical class room layout is rows of desks and chairs facing the front, it is the usual expected layout for learners and encourages them to accept conformity, something as simple as sitting on the chairs facing the front of the classroom is reassuring to the majority that the class is safe. In days of yesteryear the students would be expected to stand up when the teacher entered the room and wait for permission to be seated, thankfully those days are in the distant past and now it is acceptable to remain talking until the teacher is ready to begin class.
In the center of the room was three small tables and chairs, which were spaced enough in the room to allow for small group work areas. The lighting in the classroom was bright (fluorescent lighting), with an additional lamp in the reading center. The noise level of the room seemed to stay at a low level with minimal distractions during the observation. Additionally, the temperature of the room was set at 74 degrees, and appeared to be a comfortable setting for everyone
I think that the physical environment can play a major role in a child’s learning. If the classroom is very closed off and blocked the children will not feel free to explore their surrounding and become more independent. Ms. Laura’s classroom is very open and spaced out, even though the center itself is built with an open concept and only having half walls to divide the classrooms. She has organized the room in such a way that every though the different centers are clearly laid out, it’s not in such a way that makes them feel enclosed and blocked off from the rest of the room. The environment offers children a variety of different choices all in one area, all of the math, science, and table toys are together, so that a child does not have to search the entire room for something that they are looking for.
Teaching is not controlling, but rather working with the students to learn, grow, and succeed together. By having strong student-teacher relationships with students, the classroom will be a place for each member to express their feelings and work together. Academic success depends on these close relationships and guidance that teachers and students have with one another. Classroom management aims at establishing student self-control through a process of promoting positive student achievement and behavior. Thus, academic achievement, teacher efficacy, and teacher and student behavior are directly linked with the concept of classroom management.
Element 1.1.1 - 1.1.3 As a school community, we promote heritage and culture in our school through assemblies and educational presentations to preserve our culture. A huge celebration that takes place is National day where the triad of parent, school and community come together to celebrate our country. Element 1.2.1 - 1.2.3 As a teacher, we are role models to our students, therefore we need to demonstrate punctuality, attendance and proper dress code. Showing integrity in the workplace transfers into modeling a positive work ethic which is reflective of the teacher and school.
