The classroom environment is a teaching resource that should not be ignored. Students and teachers spend the majority of their day in school classrooms, and it’s your responsibility to foster an environment and atmosphere that enhance learning. Developing a classroom environment conducive to learning is a process that entails staging the physical space, getting the students to cooperate, creating a communal environment, and finally maintaining a positive classroom climate and culture.

Students have their optimum learning method. Some will learn pretty fast when they read texts while others prefer to listen to the teacher. There is yet another group of students that will need a practical demonstration for whatever they have learned to stick. The teacher is left with the difficult task of finding the balance that will be favorable to every student.

Some students are exceptionally gifted or skilled. They may be gifted in a particular subject or in a variety of subjects, and they tend to do well on achievement exams. Most talented kids benefit from a teaching strategy that emphasizes higher-order thinking abilities, independent study, and learning at a faster speed. This explains why every teacher's initial responsibility is to get to know their students. The educational environment of the student is one of the important aspects that can translate gifts into talent.

A positive role model who influences students' actions and motivates them to strive to uncover their genuine potentials and overcome their weaknesses is another component that helps students address diverse learning difficulties. The presence of them encourages students to make the most of their lives.

Another aspect that helps students address their needs are the resources. Effective use of appropriate learning resources allows students to develop more than surface knowledge, such as in-depth understanding of a subject as well as their own learning strategies, beliefs, attitudes, and generic abilities.

The researchers discovered no benefit for children who read newspapers, comic books, or magazines on a daily basis, and only a minor benefit for those who read short stories.

It's critical that young people are encouraged to find time to read a decent book in an increasingly digital world. Other, less complicated and engaging forms of reading are unlikely to provide the same benefits for their cognitive development and should not be included in their reading time.

Role models are a must for self-improvement because we must have a standard to strive for or compare ourselves with. There must be a ‘greatness’ or a ‘stardom’ (not in terms of showbiz) that we should wish to achieve if we want to have even a mediocre amount of success in any aspect of life. Therefore, it is important to have the right inspiration to discover who you are and do your best.

As a new parent, I am always looking out for ways to create a positive learning environment at home. I know for the fact that in-person interactions, involvement in different activities and daily experiences greatly impact the outcomes for children.

It is crucial for parents to provide their children an environment that positively influences their thoughts, stimulates their interest in various tasks and encourage learning in different settings. Even our attitude speaks volume. Our language skills, manners, and actions - every single thing we do is taken in by the child's developing brain. As they say, 'values begin at home'. You can't deny it!

My husband and I do our best to offer our 8-month old son productive experiences. As his cognitive development is still underway, it is vital that we help him learn constructively. The bookworm in me, went to a bookstore and bought him a big bundle of children's books.

I make sure I read a few pages before bedtime. We sing nursery rhymes, respond to his babbles and coos, tell him about our day and chores. He may not understand everything, but he is delighted at being talked to!

These are only the initial steps. From early childhood learning to adolescence, there is so much that we can do to create a healthy and educational environment as a family. Here is how I plan on making my home a conducive space for learning.

8 Simple Ways to Create a Conducive Learning Environment at Home

1. A Library in Your Home

Reading is one of the best habits your child can adopt. It opens the doors of imagination. Studies have shown that reading can help babies develop their speech and language skills. As I mentioned before, I read to baby every night before he goes to sleep. The books make him curious and he tries to grab them. Nonetheless, he listens to me with attentiveness when I read.

Whether you are into books or not, establish a routine in which you read aloud from a book to your children. It can be after the lunch, before the afternoon nap or even at bedtime. Children love storytelling sessions. If you feel their interest faltering, try animated moves and expressions.

In their room or study or a corner of the house, put up a bright colored shelf, and fill it up with books relevant to their age. Younger children will enjoy the books with plenty of pictures, games, and puzzles. If you know their favourite character, whether it's Winnie-the-Pooh, Peppa Pig, or Thomas the Thank Engine, books with their favourite character will likely hold their attention for longer and you may even be asked to read the same book over and over again.

If there is a library nearby, sign your children up as soon as they are old enough. Take them as often as you can and let them borrow any book they want. If they are younger, from the Children's section, but as they get older, you may need to be a little more discerning about the type of books they borrow.

When your child gets a little older, include them in discussions about the book. For instance, you can have a healthy discussion about characters, story line and the end. When my son is old enough, I am definitely going to discuss Animal Farm and Harry Potter with him!

When the habit of reading has been developed, you will notice an improvement in their vocabulary, recitation, and creative skills. These will eventually help them achieve them success in their academic lives.

2. Create a Homework Area

A study space is an important addition to a home when a child starts school. It will be the place where they canmake the most of their studies. It may be tempting to use the dining table or coffee table in the lounge, but choose a space in the house that is least distracting and quiet. Ideally, it should be a separate room with a comfortable and well-lighted setup - place a study table, bookshelf and may be even some bean bags to make it an inviting space.

The room should be clear of toys and clutter, but an inviting ambiance is vital. You don't want your kid to feel as if they are back in school. Put up personalized calendars, deadlines, timetable, clock, and motivating posters on the wall, place a lamp and a globe on the table and stock the shelf with books and dictionaries.

For children who need to use computer for their assignments, a laptop or a personal computer with parental guidance control would suffice. If you don't have a spare room in your home, opt for any corner where the child would get least disturbed.

3. Make Learning at Home Fun

Once children start school, they begin to believe that learning is a chore and is tedious. The reality is, we and they are learning all the time, through observation of daily life, and experiences, especially travelling, baking, art, and gardening.

With the right limitations and guidance, even YouTube can provide a multitude of educational value. You can allow your child to lead the way. Keeping their interests in mind, give them several options. Choices make a child feel more in control.

For instance, my niece loves insects and animals. Whenever we go to a park, we play a game of 'spot that critter!'. We mostly find a usual cat, sparrow, ladybug, and a butterfly, but all the while, I make it a point to tell her about different species, where they live and what they eat. When she goes home, she often finds out more about the things she learnt, and then showers us with 'interesting facts' about the particular creature.

4. Mind your P's and Q's

Before we can earn respect, we need to give respect and giving respect to others is necessary. Please, pardon and thank you are common words that we often use without giving a second thought.

However, we all have been in a situation where someone stepped on our toes and walked away without apologizing or when a colleague borrowed a pen and never thought to return it - there are numerous examples where a few manners could have changed our impression of another person.

Instil rules and positive discipline from a young age at home. Make sure your child learns to use words like please, thank you, welcome, and sorry. When you ask them to do something, make sure you speak to them as you would any other person, so that they pick up on it too.

Manners are a simple thing to share and ensure and these simple gestures will help them become a better person, they will also set a good example for others.

5. Have Playdates

There is nothing more fun for a child than a playdate with a kid or kids of their own age. Get together with other parents and arrange a playdate at least once a month. Children learn many positive traits from each other - sharing toys, appreciating efforts, and passing kind comments are only few of the many beneficial aspects of a playdate.

At the same time, parents get to have a grown-up meet-up as well. Moms and dads can use it as an opportunity to reconnect with the world again and practise their rusty social skills. They can exchange useful information regarding school and work, share tips to boost child's confidence and education, or merely enjoy a 'non-parent' chat.

Whenever I attend a playdate with my child, I find it a great stress-reliever. The motherly fears, and all the things I am being paranoid about melt away, when I realise I'm not the only one feeling 'that way'. Having a chat with other parents is often a breath of fresh air.

6. No Bullying and Fighting

Try to be strict when it comes to quarrels, bullying and fights. Kids fight; there was not a single day when I hadn't punched my brother and received a few kicks in return as well.

As soon as my mom saw us fighting like wild animals, she would give us a good berating. As time passed, through rewards and punishments, we learned to play together without resorting to hits and slaps.

Nobody wants their child to become a bully. If you see your kid doing something wrong or being violent, don't hesitate to tell them off. Do it with explanation though. It is easy to mistakenly assume that children are too young to understand things, but often they understand more than we give them credit for. And children often rise to the level we expect of them.

It is your duty as a parent to raise a kind human being. By making sure your sons and daughters are compassionate, good-natured, and co-operative you are contributing to a kinder, more generous world.

7. Involve Them in Everyday Routine Activity

Children love to wash dishes, stitch buttons, do grocery and cook. It is not until they are teenagers that they realize how boring these chores are! From baking cookies to doing laundry, involve your kids and make it a fun learning experience. Let them wash a few spoons, roll the dough, and add detergent to the washing machine.

During each task, you can tell them interesting facts about the activity. Other than that, during their playtime, involve them in productive games, such as puzzles, stacking blocks and activity centers. To stimulate creativity, buy them arts and crafts supplies - make a volcano, build a lamp or a cardboard house. Gadgets and toys are fascinating, but most of them are hardly constructive. If you allow your kid screen time, make sure you keep track of the time.

If you love baking, baking muffins is a great activity with young children. It is forgiving enough to just be hand-mixed and it's ingredients simply chucked in together. And in the process, count the cases, name the ingredients and at the end, enjoy scrummy muffins together!

8. Order, Order, Order!

It is important to have a set of rules and regulations at home. Don't be lenient. After playtime, your child should clean up, pick up the toys and put them back in their place. Let them know that meals must be finished; be it a deadly concoction of Brussels sprouts and broccoli or their favourite 'mac and cheese'.

Order is necessary for every age group, and parents should instil these rules and practise discipline from a very young age. Going to bed on time, waking up with the sun, managing homework and outdoor activities - order and proper time management will take your child places in future.

In the end

Don't stress yourself out if your child misbehaves, occasionally throws a tantrum, or digs in their heels and decides to be stubborn at precisely the wrong moment. Every parent faces difficult days.

Do always remember though that each child is different, and as a parent, you have to learn how to reach out to them. Simply give them your time, love and attention and ensure, as often as you can, that you share healthy, productive activities and a friendly, loving home environment.

Do you have any more tips on how you create a fun learning environment in your home?

Incorporating role models into everyday lesson planning is one of the most effective ways to increase engagement, boost confidence and inspire students to take an active role in pursuing their dreams.

For children and students who are particularly impressionable and learn through mimicry and modeling, providing examples of positive and inspiring role models can significantly increase the quality of their learning experience.

Read below for three tips on how to introduce the most effective role models for your students.

The Importance of Character

When selecting positive role models for students to relate to, it is crucial to avoid promoting individuals who have a record of public misbehavior. Selecting people who strive to maintain a respectable image and introducing individuals who stand for a purpose greater than themselves will help curb disruptive or questionable behaviors and encourage (or reinforce) positive values

Focusing on Innovation

According to Opportunity Insights, a research institute led by Harvard faculty, children who are exposed to innovation at an early age are significantly more likely to innovate when they grow older. Because many of the jobs children will apply for do not yet exist, it is crucial that educators instill the importance of 21 st-century skills including perseverance, creative problem solving and entrepreneurship. Promoting role models who display these characteristics will help attract students to these valuable skills and encourage them to pursue problems which lack simple solutions.

Embracing Outside Opportunities

Because educators do not always have as much freedom as they would like when it comes to lesson planning, seeking educational programs outside the classroom is a great way to introduce inspiring role models. Programs like those from the National Inventors Hall of Fame® (NIHF), including the flagship Camp Invention® summer program, offer great opportunities to inspiring innovators whose work has moved society forward. A 2017 report by the Wallace Foundation supports the effectiveness of Out-of-School-Time programs, finding that reputable programs offer measurable benefits to those who attend them.

Parents want their children to excel in whatever they do. However, we may often wonder what the best way can be to motivate our child. Well, to start with, you could inspire your child by becoming a role model yourself. Children learn most from their parents, and if you act as a role model for your child, it may help in shaping your child's future in a positive way.

Who Is a Role Model?

Before we discuss the importance and how to be a role model for your child, it is important to understand the true essence of a role model. In simple words, role models are people who we look up to for inspiration, or who we strive to be like. Parents tend to spend the maximum amount of time with their children, and thus they can imprint the young minds by being ideal role models for their kids.

Why is It Important for a Parent to Be a Good Role Model for Their Child?

If you think that nurturing a child is the only responsibility that parents need to fulfil, you might be wrong - bringing up a child brings in a whole lot of duties and responsibilities. Here is why you should be a good role model for your child:

Your child is spending most of his time with you and thus learns a great deal from you. In other words, your child gets greatly inspired by you.

Your attitude towards sports, academics and other spheres of life impact your child's choices too.

Your choices of friends help in determining what kind of people your child will be friendly with or will hang out with.

Your lifestyle choices influence your child's choices too.

Your relationship with your relatives and your spouse also help in shaping up how your child would perceive his relationships.

A mother as a role model or a father as a role model helps a great deal in shaping a child's future.

How to Be an Effective Role Model for Your Growing Child

You do not have to be perfect to be a role model for your child. Your child just needs your unconditional love, support and guidance to be successful in his endeavours. Do not make parenting tedious or complicated by keeping unrealistic boundaries and expectations. If you wish to know how you can be an effective role model in your child's life, follow these simple measures:

1. Be Open About Your Life

It is important for your child to know the real you, which means the child should know the kind of person you are. Every human being falters or makes mistakes. If you have made some mistakes, talk to your child about them and help him learn from your experiences. Holding an unrealistic positive image of yourself will be helpful neither to you, nor your child. Your attitude towards failures or drawbacks helps your child build a strong character.

2. Begin Early

If you are thinking that it may be too early for you to start inculcating good values or leading by example, well, young kids are very impressionable, and they dwell on the feelings of their heart and mind even if they can't communicate it well. Want your child to learn the virtue of loyalty? Teach him from the start. Take baby steps in that direction instead of taking massive steps later.

3. Be a Good Listener

Children have a whole lot of things to share with you on a daily basis, so lend a good ear. Do not keep teaching all the time; sometimes, it's beneficial to be a good listener and learn a thing or two about your child's life. We often find ourselves talking to our children, but sometimes, our children need to be heard too.

4. Be Affectionate

One of the best ways of nurturing a positive and happy child is through unconditional love and care. Love is not only about hugging your child, feeding him food or buying him good clothes. Love is when you exhibit interest in your child's life or show your child that you care. Sometimes, your sheer presence can do wonders to your child's self-esteem and confidence.

5. Be Positive

One of the best things you can express towards your child is positivity. Your child observes you; if you stay positive during tough or testing times, your child is going to adopt the same thing. However, positivity here does not mean being unrealistic or making your child delusional, but it means to take every difficulty as a challenge and deal with it.

6. Be Encouraging

Every child is unique and blessed with different qualities. As parents, we need to value our children's qualities and keep encouraging them for their efforts and endeavours. Do not nag your kids or expect them to achieve something that may be beyond their capability or capacity. Sometimes, having expectations may put unnecessary pressure on your child. Never adopt negative parenting traits; keep encouraging your child to do better.

7. Don't Go Overboard With Your Attempt

Though your intentions are genuine, sometimes parents can go overboard with their attempts to become good role models for their children. Parents may pamper, praise or shower their kids with so much love that a child may feel uncomfortable. Refrain from acting insincere in front of your child because eventually, your child will judge your genuineness. Keep it simple; keep it real.

8. Watch Your Tone

Do not yell or shout at a child when insisting on a point. Children value your words and your tone too. You can express a great deal from your tone. However, make sure that you do not make it negative or hurtful. Be firm and clear in what you want your child do and then leave the rest to child's discretion. Keep your instructions or commands simple and direct rather than leaving scope for any ambiguity.

9. Set Goals

Setting of goals, implementing them and achieving the same are some of the important aspects of bringing up children. These three aspects may apply in all spheres. Whether it is about your child's academics or his behaviour, you may adopt this approach to achieve results in all fields of life. You may encourage your child to come forward with his dreams, aspirations and goals, and work together with your child in achieving them.

10. Be the Best Version of Yourself

Whatever you do or say may impact or influence your child. If not perfect, at least strive to be the best version of yourself because your child is looking up to you for inspiration. Your actions and your words should be well thought of, whenever you are dealing with your children.

If you haven't thought of becoming a role model for your child, start now. You can always try in making a genuine attempt for raising a responsible and confident child.
