Classrooms should be a place brimming up with positivity, stirring students’ curiosity to learn and chase after academic goals. From introducing collaborative learning to applying positive reinforcement, there are many ways to mould a positive environment in the classroom where students can easily climb the ladder to their dreams. A positive environment can not only engage the students but also make teaching hilariously interesting. Introduce Collaborative Learning What could be more engaging than collaborative learning? Collaborative learning is more important to mould a strong connection between students where you teach them to ride together in the track for hitting academic goals. This also comes with a cornucopia of benefits for students, like enhancing communication skills, social interaction, creativity etc. Group projects also stirs students’ curiosity to complete the task within a short period of time. Allow Feedback Let the students give feedback about the teacher’s performance and presentation of topics. Feedbacks will help teachers improve their teaching methods as well as students can get their doubts clarified enough to swallow. Allowing students to give feedback can also enhance the student-teacher relationship where hesitation to ask questions will gradually fade away. Establish Active learning Methods Active learning methods can activate classrooms with positive energy. Introducing game based learning or blending technology to engage students in the classroom can make learning an amusing activity to indulge in. When learning becomes an activity charged with curiosity, it becomes easy for the students to learn and earn their academic goals. Enhance Physical Environment Physical environment plays a major role in magnetising a positive vibe. From creating vision boards to decorating walls to installing mini libraries, style classrooms with everything that makes students eager to explore the realms of knowledge. Ensuring access to books and involving students in enhancing the environment can also encourage them to engage with other students, resulting in strong unity among students. Positive Reinforcement Positive reinforcement is important to keep students motivated and engaged. Compliment students for every little effort they put in. Comfort them and console them when things are not up to expectations. Don’t forget to keep eyes on the ones who move like snails, appreciate them for the little attempts they make though fruitless. Positive reinforcement can water confidence in students, and they’ll gradually be in a position to easily succeed in every academic goal.
