A positive classroom looks friendly to me. I see this more on the people's faces than I necessarily see on the walls. It is inviting because the people are inviting. A positive classroom feels safe. For me, this one also goes with the "sounds like". I see safety as every member in the classroom feeling valued and feeling safe to be an active, accepted member of the community. They don't need to be loud, but they should be willing to put themselves out there because they know the team will respect them and support them. It sounds like talking and collaboration and students learning how to redirect each other with positive stem sentences and polite language.

A positive classroom climate looks productive, students with smiles, making eye contact, engaged in learning, a teacher smiling, being attentive, moving around the classroom and connected to their students. Students are being safe, staying seated or moving appropriately around the room. There are procedures in place for lessons and transitions to be smooth. It sounds quiet, inviting, and respectful with appropriate tones and volume when speaking. It feels safe, welcoming and inspiring.

A positive classroom sounds joyful full of laughter and smiles. Students feel secure and loved so they are willing to take risks and ask for help when needed. Routines and procedures are strong and evident with the use of visuals, timers, or oral directions. The classroom has a feel to it that immedately makes you feel welcomed, encouraged and relaxed almost like home in the sense that your guard can be down because you are cared for as you are with no need to hide.

A positive classroom looks like a decorated classroom, a classroom full of different types of children getting along and smiles on kids faces. A classroom where children and teacher can be themselves with no thought about it. Where the teacher is sitting or playing and teaching with the kids.

A positive classroom sounds like children interacting with one another, whether it be talking, laughing, and learning.

A positive classroom feels like a welcoming environment, where everyone can be themselves, and feel relaxed.

A positive classroom environment is full of smiles and a soft hum of discourse between students and the educator. You can feel love and a strong sense of belonging. It is a place where everyone has a role in the classroom family. Students aren't afraid to take risks and seek out guidance from their peers and teacher.

A positive classroom looks and feels warm and inviting. The teacher and students talk to each other with respect and support one another. The teacher walks around engaging the students and helping where needed. Students feel safe and know this is a place where they are free to make mistakes without fear of getting reprimanded. Everyone matters and has an important role in the team.

A positive climate feels welcoming. From the moment you walk in the door you know the teacher and students are glad to see you. You are greeted by name, told good morning, and there is all bright, colorful artwork around you, followed by cool flexible seating arrangements.

A positive classroom climate to me looks and feels warm and inviting. Where the teachers and students talk to each other with respect and work togather as a team. The teacher goes around to each table to check on students and helps them with things they need help with or give them comploments. Where students come in every day and know its a safe place.

A positive climate looks like a room that is cozy and neat. It sounds like the teacher speaking life over the students and all members of the classroom working together to meet goals in a respectful way. It feels warm and safe to both the teacher and the students.

A positive classroom climate looks like a classroom that is warm and inviting. Something that is open and welcoming to all. When a teacher and students have a mutual respect for each other and the students feel that their teacher is a safe place to come. Interactive and engaging.

I believe a post climate in a classroom is warm and inviting. Were you can see the positive energy flowing respectively. I would also say have a good smell fragrance aroma around the room. The teacher and the students are working together interacting on higher level. Its a safe place for all people to feel welcome inside.

First, a positive classroom climate looks exciting. If students aren't excited about learning, will they truly learn? Next, a positive classroom climate sounds engaging. This means students are focused on learning and participating in discussions. Finally, a positive classroom climate feels safe. If students do not feel safe and supported in the classroom, they will not be motivated to do their best and be themselves.

Positive Classroom

Looks like - warm and inviting. All materials are in place. The teacher greets students by name every morning.

Feels like - warm and inviting. A place to learn and grow not only in content but as a person. A caring environment.

Sounds like - lots of discourse throughout the classroom. A low hum of students collaborating with the teacher laughing and joking with the students.

I believe a positive classroom climate should be warm and inviting, as well as exciting. Students should feel engaged and excited to learn. A warm smile and greeting from a teacher can go a long way. A student will not perform to the best of their ability if they do not feel comfortable in their classroom environment. As a preschool teacher, I am always trying to make our material fun and exciting.

A positive classroom feels welcoming, positive and fun. I believe from the moment you walk through the doors you should know you're welcomed, loved and you belong. An educator should take the time to get to know each of their students personally - what they like, dislike, extracurricular sports and family. I also believe that mistakes should be expected and that students should get back up and try again when they are ready, with the teacher by their side.

I love this question, with the specifics of utilizing The 5 Senses. A positive classroom climate looks like displays of classroom community with a friends & family board or book, opportunities of ownership for all students to participate (classroom jobs, management of behavior, daily commitments, flexible seating), clear & recognizable expectations

A positive classroom climate sounds like appropriate voice levels for independent study, flexible grouping, sounds of nature or relaxing music for focus, as well as recitation.

A positive classroom to me is somewhere my students can go to feel safe. It looks calming and inviting when walking in. The lights are not too bright. Students have roles and jobs that they enjoy and care about, and understand the responsibility that comes with the role. We treat each other and one another with respect because in this classroom we are comprised to be a family

A positive classroom is one that is inviting, encouraging, supporting, hard working, caring and so much more! It's one that is put together nicely and follows routines and procedures to promote a healthy learning environment. It allows you to make mistakes, try again, and be yourself.

A positive classroom is a classroom that consists of many components. A positive classroom is a classroom where students feel safe, valued, and supported. Students flourish when they are in an environment that they feel safe in. When a teacher is caring and supportive towards their students, students feel value. Their sense of value and support from their teacher will lead them to success.
