Change your learning environment

Spas are painted neutral for calmness, art studios are painted bright to inspire creativity and classrooms are filled with drawings, posters and books to motivate learning and growing.  The colors and items that surround you in a certain environment have much to do with your perception and mood towards the activity.

Where a child learns explains how they process material and this affects their understanding of new information.  Differential instruction is important because it uses key elements that need to be changed in order to help accommodate children to grow and learn at their own pace and style.  The way a classroom looks and feels is a large element that contributes to the overall learning experience and process.

 

According to the online article www.readingrockets.org, here are 3 ways to help change a learning environment for students needs.

•  Utilizing sections of a classroom to encourage both a quite time for independent work and a separate space for students to collaborate.
•   Cultures and home environments play a role in learning. Providing information that reflects those values and styles in a particular setting will prove to be helpful.
•  Each individual works differently, therefore providing guidelines that match those learning needs will make independent work more successful.

Where do you feel more creative? The most inspired? The most motivated?
