The learning atmosphere can be controlled via lighting and sound for a better experience and potentially better grades.

Focusing on positive sounding ways to address your class improves engagement and learning overall.

Through this course, I’ve learned valuable strategies to ensure my classroom runs effectively. I now understand the importance of starting each day fully prepared and making myself available to students both before and after class. Greeting students at the door helps set a positive tone. Additionally, I’ve learned that lectures should be kept to around 15 minutes for maximum engagement. If a longer lecture is necessary, it’s important to break it up with short pauses or incorporate activities that reinforce the material covered.
