Creating an effective learning environment requires recognizing and nurturing various aspects of student needs and preferences. It's crucial to ensure a safe and welcoming space where students feel comfortable enough to ask questions and engage openly with teachers and peers.
Practical Application: More then ever students want to know why they are learning what they are. How does it apply to every day life or in the future? Making learning more practical, such as environmental studies in the outdoors are ways to motivate and engage students.
Individualized Learning: All students learn at a different pace and it a different way. It's important to know this and ensure that the IEP reflects this so that other teachers are also aware.
Tailored learning: Students have different learning styles and interests. It's important to tailor our teaching and activities to reach students in individual ways (project based) .
Technology: There is so much we now can do with technology in the classroom. Students are connected all day long, we need to use technology to motivate and engage students in creative ways.
Safe Place: According to the student's voices a safe school is important. Students want to learn in an environment where they feel comfortable and safe.
