ENVIRONMENT
 DIVERSE LEARNERS AND THEIR LEARNING
NEEDS
Learners do not come from the same past experiences, economic status,
cultural background, and the like. Regardless of these, each learner
deserves equal opportunity to learn in school. The challenge of giving
them learning opportunities now depends on the skills and know-how as a
teacher. It is then important that teacher need to know the needs of
learners as well how they learn. Learning needs represent the gap between
what the learner wants to get out of the learning experience and his or her
current state of knowledge, skill, and enthusiasm
 The Ideal Learning Environment

Positive, productive learning environments are key to

students' academic, emotional and social success in
school. Unfortunately, positive learning environments
don't just happen on their own–they must be created.
 Atmosphere of Learning
• Specific Classroom rules and procedure are clear.
• Classroom rules and procedures are discussed within the first few days
of the school.
• Students are involved in the design of rules and procedures.
• Techniques to acknowledge and reinforce acceptable behavior are
employed.
• Clear limits for unacceptable behavior are established and negative
consequences for such are communicated.
• Classroom procedure are democratic.

 What is the difference between a positive and negative learning
environment?
To really dig into the differences of a positive and negative learning environment, let’s start
with some positive learning environment examples:

• Students feel safe to come to school without feeling like they have to act like someone else
for acceptance
• When students feel safe in their environment, they’re more willing to take risks in their
learning without fear of failing– sometimes we learn best when we fail!
• A true community exists. Students and staff members alike are more engaged and excited to
interact with one another under positive circumstances.
 What is the difference between a positive and negative learning
environment?
In a negative learning environment, you’re going to see more undesirable behaviors such as:

• High levels of student frustration, likely leading to increased disciplinary rates. This could be
mitigated by clear classroom management strategies.
• A disconnect between members of the community (ie. staff, students, and parents/guardians), leading
to tension and less involvement from parents/guardians in the school environment. High levels of
parent involvement have a direct impact on positive learning environments.
• High levels of stress for teachers leading to burnout and anxiety, which research has shown can even
cause a physiological anti-stress hormone response in students. Practicing self-care techniques can be a
great way to de-stress.
 4 STEPS IN BUILDING AN APPROPRIATE
LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
• Address Learner’s Needs
Students are all different. When teachers
intentionallly address these needs in the classroom,
students are happier to be there, behavior
incidentfar s occur far less frequently, and student
engagement and learning increases.

2. Establishing Good Relationship
Improving student’s relationships with
teachers has important, positive and long-lasting
implications for both students academic and
social development. Moreover, positive
connections between parents and teachers should
also be established.

3. Make Learning Relevant
The more relevant a topic or
subject is to student’s own success and
happiness, the more engaged they’ll
become in the learning process.

LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
4. Develop a Code of Conduct
If students don’t have a clear and
agreed upon understanding of positive and
negative behaviors, it’s difficult to create a
positive learning environment in the
classoom and at school.
