Learning Enviroment
The student show have a comforable and postive learning enviroment. No one can work under a negative or hostile work enviroment.
I agree when students are in a learning environment they tend to engage in class discussion.
Besides the enviroment we need enough physical resourses to conduct the specific course, equipment, materials...
I have had several issues with equipment in the classroom this term. I have stayed calm and told my students we could make something work it is called adaptation. I think by keeping calm and making things work it gave the students confidence in me as an instructor.
Darcie,
You make a very good point about maintaining your calm while dealing with broken, missing or malfunctioning equipment. This way you are showing the students that you are a professional in spite of challenges.
