The 3 Elements of A Positive Learning Environment: Creating classrooms where students thrive!

Classrooms thrive when these three elements are in place: Trusting Teacher-Student Relationships, A Supportive Learning Community, and Cognitively Engaging Instruction. In this video, we'll explore each component and how it helps students thrive in any type of learning, whether academic or SEL!

How to use this video: Use this video to explain to teachers, parents, and stakeholders why we invest in building a strong classroom foundation for learning: The positive classroom environment. Without these 3 elements, students won't feel psychologically safe to contribute their ideas, make mistakes, ask for help, embrace challenges, and take other risks necessary for learning.
