Why every teacher needs this

If you are not purposefully planning your classroom’s physical and emotional learning environment using research you may not realize . . .

physical space affects student stamina, engagement and motivation
making learning visible and accessible supports academic achievement
emotional space plays a role in the feeling of joy in the classroom
classroom design, setup, and decor, have a tremendous impact on student engagement and success
helping students use strategies to reduce stress helps them gain emotional resilience
classroom setup can support students who struggle with behavior, focus, stamina, or comfort

Don’t worry, you don’t have to do the research, we have done it for you! In the course Purposeful Learning Environment, you’ll learn how to optimize your physical and emotional learning environment. And when you apply the principles you will see a noticeable change in stamina, engagement and motivation.
