Q1: Classroom environment is the culture set in the room, including how all stakeholders in the room treat one another
-
A1: Classroom environment can be the physical environment to classroom management (rules, procedures) to classroom morale!
-
A1: classroom environment is the atmosphere and culture in which Ss learn...good env. make Ss feel safe & brave
-
A1 The physical and social/emotional culture of a classroom.
-
-
A1 - it is so much more than a physical environment; a place where ?s and ideas are EQUALLY important
-
-
. A classroom environment goes beyond 4 walls... It is a social climate that foster dialogue, sharing and learning.
-
A1: Collaborative, engaging, welcoming space that helps make learning happen!
-
-
YES! a place where you are as free to say, "I've got an idea" as "I don't get it"
-
Hi! I'm Jenny Vitas, a third grade teacher from Tallahassee, FL!
-
A1) I'd define classroom environment as physical space and how it is used. It becomes part of the class culture.
-
Would you please move a little farther down south so that I can make it?
-
A1: everything from print on walls, stations, desk placement, overall feel of the classroom, how it lends itself to engagement
-
-
A1: Classroom environments S the atmosphere created to inspire learning. Socially, culturally, emotionally, all of the above
-
A1: classroom environment = the room, the class, the energy. It should feel like an elite club.
-
-
I can make room if you want to come!
-
A1: safe, inviting, and encouraging space to support learning
-
like fertile soil where learning can grow big and tall
-
Great point! How do you set that culture in your room?
-
-
positive, collaborative, and a safe place for students to explore their interests & grow as learners https://t.co/HEWuySLQKF
-
-
A2 sometimes loud, sometimes messy but students are always engaged
-
A2: There should be space for students to move around, choice seating, collaborative space

Hard, constant work! Set the tone -- express a trustworthy, positive, passionate spirit of learning

A2) It's a welcoming place. A buzz in the room where students are excited about learning.

Columbus Ohio inner city A1 a"safe" place to ask anything and share your "real" heart w/out judgement or reprisal

What ClassRM culture permits Murder when ClassMates get jealous of UpperClassmen?

Physically myroom is set up for collaborative groups! From table groups to kidney table for teacher groups, it's all about groups!
-
A2: Depends on what is happening that day. Might be organized, might be 'messy" but always looks and sounds like learning (I hope)
-
Agreed!! https://t.co/ls3X9hmUwE

-
-
A2 colorful and inviting usually loud and messy... you can definitely tell Ss are having fun and learning at the same time
-
Q2: Students in pods, shared supplies. My "desk" = small group table. Would love to get some choice seating at some point.
-
A2: also, you hear from the minute you walk in, the collaborative conversations happening!

A2 an atmosphere of collaboration and buzz of chat about what we are working on
-
A2: classroom is set up to promote group work & collaboration. Sound level varies but is often a steady hum of S learning
-
A2: Classrooms, Recreation Centers, Churches, Libraries, the Street, Under a Tree... learning takes place everywhere.
-
A2 Quite often noisy but generally a buzz. Soft light, rugs, standing tables, collaborative spaces
-
A2:clutter free, enough materials for free exploration and self-directed learning, sounds like people who are busy

Ikea stools are $4.99. It's a start...

-
Q2: Students in pods, shared supplies. My "desk" = small group table. Would love to get some choice seating at some point.
-
my walls are covered in positive statements, and have tables and chairs - I am the computer lab
-
I am really interested in the choice seating as well! Have you done any research on how to make that happen financially?
-
Q2: Looks like a bunch of cool coders with a makerspace, class story wall and fun GoNoodle dancers!! https://t.co/nxDMWWRXLa

Yes! My favorite is "When given the choice to be right or be kind, choose kind" - Dr. Wayne Dyer
-
-
I am personally going to try gofundme or the like... Get some community involvement and investment!
-
A2: should look & sound like a coffee shop. Welcoming, collaborative, tech is out & in use! Projects, pockets of learning, messy
-
. and other = an easy way to amp up S's learning. Love the idea of class story wall. https://t.co/ujUeeF1vCO

Question 3 coming any second now...

I haven't. Might have to get creative. :)
-
-
A2: Lots of collaboration at tables. Norms for respect during whole group lessons. Collaboration on independent work encouraged
-
-
A3 hands down rolly chair, and also for some crazy reason my orange pen - who they've named orangie.
-
-
I have done several Donors Choose Projects and they were awesome!
-
-
A3: Choice of seating, desks and chairs are not comfortable for all learners.
-
-
A3: printer is a huge hit.
-
A3 My students LOVE our standing table
-
A3: A couple of sleeping bags I had at school for a project became middle of the floor seating

A3: we got stability seating back in January. The Ss love the yoga balls the best! We also have wiggle cushions and wiggle stools!

https://t.co/76PyJXqZBC
-
-
A3 My students LOVE our standing table
-
that may need to be one of my next projects! Those are cool!
-
-
A3 I don't have standing tables but don't generally direct where kids sit. It's there choice: sit, stand, whatever - just WORK
-
love this! I am studying to be a teacher now and can't wait to set up my own classroom.
-
Q3: Ikea stools and a padded bench made from an old coffee table/pillows. :)
-
A3 My kids love to lay on the floor and sit under tables and desks. They love to lounge and read and get into the book
-
A3: Our goal is to make the = the classroom physical environment as much as possible.
-
Here's picture from a colleague's classroom. The stool swivels. Helps this learner stay focused https://t.co/lO6194Wr6n
-
A3) Students do love their Hokki stools and Yoga balls. We don't have enough for the whole class so its a seat upgrade
-
No pic :( it's like the folding cocktail table - I also have used a regular foldout table for the "shorter" kiddos
-
A3: I make my library as cozy as possible to encourage reading! Ss are excited for independent reading time
-
so awesome! This is my 3rd year. Setting up is so fun!
-
I'm thinking I want to have some coffee table size tables
https://t.co/yxZDw1WX7u
-
-
No pic :( it's like the folding cocktail table - I also have used a regular foldout table for the "shorter" kiddos
-
A3 the smart board especially if they have a say in what we view or can touch and interact....teachers in the making 😀
-
A3 I think the Ss love the huge mural and the desks they can stand at or sit in the swivel chairs
-
-
-
sounds awesome! Looking for ideas for my future classroom!
-
I have these exact same stools!
-
A3 laying on the floor, standing, sitting on the carpet next to me... they just love having a choice

Smartboard is a fav in my room too https://t.co/xg91rGS54d
-

-
Oooooh love a good rocking chair!
https://t.co/kJPIm8cv84
-
-
A3 The rocking chair is a hot commodity for my 5th graders lol
-
-
-
A3: I allow Ss to sit in my teacher desk chair during DEAR time. You'd think they'd won the lottery when it is their day!
-
A4 BETTER WIFI -- causes broken hearts when it drops out or is crazy slow.
-
A4 - yes, usually start one at the beginning of the year and go from there - shag carpet is on there!
-
-
A4: I'd really love to have more choice seating, including standing desks, and bouncy balls as seats.
-
A4 also -- FOOD, unfortunately, my kids are usually hungry -- if you feed them they will learn
-
A4: My wish list includes standing desks...I think my students would really benefit
-
A4 I keep a wish list! The Ss are always giving me ideas too!
-
A4: I don't have my own room, but I would love for classes in my building to have exercise balls for students to sit on.
-
That's one of my DojoPoints class reward coupons! Love it!
-
A4) We'd love to have flexible rolling tables to be able to have students easily manipulate their space.
-
for the little k's we put the bouncy balls inside a crate so they are not rolling all over the room
-
A4 we want more stability seating! I only got enough for half the class to do action research and now they all want them!
-
don't you love when technology doesn't work how it's supposed to?!
-
did you know there is a ?
-
A4 also if I had unlimited space -- I'd love treadmills or ellipticals. love the idea of reading and moving
-
A4: Standing desks would be awesome too
-
A4 My students' list includes: yoga balls, yoga mats, more lamps, more standing tables and more inspirational posters lol!
-
ClassDojo chose to contact + work w/Corrupt👮🏻. LAWYERS handle this. This isn't a ClassRM. They aren't Admin. 😬Spelling
-
Great idea! I think that would help Ss get energy out while keeping the room in control
-
its a real world lesson -- my wifi gives me fits too
-
A4: standing desks, rug, kidney bean table, and I want to paint my desktops with dry erase paint. Anyone try this?
-
A4: more technology and choice seating like bean bags
-
yes - the students love it!
-
I'd love to have dry erase paint on tables and desks.
https://t.co/3RDBDzCCGk
-
-
A4: standing desks, rug, kidney bean table, and I want to paint my desktops with dry erase paint. Anyone try this?
-
A4: We want the desks we have out! My kids would ❤️ standing desks. They would just die for bean bags during independent reading
-
the smart board! the students love being able to interact with their lessons
-
A4: Every classroom should have a fun station so everyone can stay !
-
-
if you can multi sensory task like that. Whew!
-
-
Yes! A standing desk on the treadmill - woohoo!
-
A4 -- and also, if we are talking crazy, out there awesome -- one of those desks that is also an eno board
-
I painted an old dinner table once with dry erase paint...worked well...I had to give it up when I changed positions
-
-
We have a sensory tub in 4th grade. Kids love it.
-
A4 separate desks are on the list too! We would put them together for groups, but to be able to separate each S would be great!
-
one of my teacher friends has a standing bike in her classroom and her STUDENTS love to read there!
-
I have not but I know a lot of Ts let Ss use dry erase markers on the desks
-
my tables and desks (and floors) can all be written on by dry erase markers w/out expensive paint :)
-
-
Such a great idea to easily adjust the learning space depending on the activity!
-
That is going on my wishlist! I WILL make room!
-
We do too. Our desks have seen better days, so I figured it wouldn't hurt. :)
-
haha yes! They were so cool to sit in! Much easier to move groups than regular desks
-
Does anyone have examples of grants that can cover the costs? Maybe a project or grant? https://t.co/5w5x0ep9qn
-
-
A4 My students' list includes: yoga balls, yoga mats, more lamps, more standing tables and more inspirational posters lol!
-
A4 I also want to be the kind of teacher who can teach in any space - in any room

mine too I cover mine with shower board! Kids love it

we just write directly on the table with white board markers! Comes off perfectly fine with a Clorox wipe!
-
A4 iPad or similar for every kid to use

I wonder if we have bring your own yoga ball how that would go... :)
https://t.co/qPuqKMVRHp

-
You're doing such a great job!!! :) :) :)
-
A5 it's a visible way to recognize those who make a positive impact. Love when a S says, "Give him a pt, Ms. E! That was awesome!"
-
A4: I am obsessed w portable adjustable desktop that can raise to = standing desk - would love to have as option for Ss
-
-
A5) When we used students loved hearing the ding of earned points.
-
made a project on and posted on social media and shared with Ss parents through dojo! Funded very quickly!
-
A5. We jump on "put downs", "face crimes" and "coasters" (un-gritty kids) and promote the opposite
-
Good Evening ! Leigh here from MO. HS Assistant Principal & Lifelong learner. Sorry I am late. Excited to learn!
-
A3: the materials station with all kinds of supplies and the "wiggly chairs"!!!!!
-
-
-
A5: Ss notice when others are doing things that deserve dojo points! They also congratulate each other for earning multiple points
-
they love being able to come to the smart board and give themselves the points they've earned!
-
A5 being able to connect with parents and having class story to showcase learning... has increased parent involvement
-
-
Q5: I found that Ss accomplishments are more celebrated with ClassDojo and Ss are more engaged. They want to earn points
-
Nice!
Definitely a piece of the classroom culture / environment. https://t.co/srqjbquM8P
-
-
A5: Ss notice when others are doing things that deserve dojo points! They also congratulate each other for earning multiple points
-
Totally going to try this!
-

-
has created an amazing environment in my class I think it is because it fits my philosophy to a tee
-
-
Hello sorry for being late but I'm a preservice English teacher from Grove City College. love class dojo
-
Q5: our class celebrates the positive points students earn at the end of each day. It motivates them to do their best all day
-
. Wow, I love those!! (Ss would be, those are huge upgrade for chair races in the hall!)
-
A4: oh yes. I have a running list on ! Just added to it yesterday!
-
Adorable! I want those so badly
-
A5 My kids have been coaching each other when they see others are having a rough day. They are invested in each others success!!!!
-
A5 changed a "what you did wrong" to "what you did right" highlighting the good as the goal changing "wrong" to "need" help
-
Mine too! Not the carpet, but tables and desks.
-
A5 The peer to peer encouragement alone is worth its weight in gold!
-
A5 has REVOLUTIONIZED my classroom! We are focused on the positive! Ding!
-
A5 Use dojo to keep track of positive points for PBS end of the month reward... always asked how many points do I have
-
Welcome! Glad you're here!
-
Suppose we should just try writing first!!!
https://t.co/DUV1VDATsX
-
-
my tables and desks (and floors) can all be written on by dry erase markers w/out expensive paint :)
-
Would love to hear more from teachers on more parent engagement this is the biggest hurdle!
-
My classroom had rugs, rockers, no desks, lamps, natural lighting, yoga mats, & tons of creative time
-
A5 Class Dojo gives students a good sense of competition and brings them together in competition Its a good positive reinforcer
-
I have a trampoline and the class dojo king and queen of the day get to jump on it at the end of the day !
-
A5: ClassDojo has been my dream come true. I've always disliked the behavior clip charts. Parent ❤️ ClassDojo, too! It's engaging
-
It's all about the positive! My kindergartners always get a huge smile when they hear the ding! "Yes I earned a point!"
-
I agree - students used to using choice seating are great at knowing their needs, great community, relaxed engagement
-
I need to do some upgrades to our lighting.. We have limited natural lighting and too many fluorescents!
https://t.co/CvBcrIHIYd
-
-
My classroom had rugs, rockers, no desks, lamps, natural lighting, yoga mats, & tons of creative time
-
we struggle here. most of Ss have no internet at home. But still - some parents check dojo at work or library
-
-
A5: I love that Dojo can be customized so that you and your Ss can describe behaviors that fit your culture and reward them!
-
I feel like dojo should hold a clip chart bonfire!
-
A5 My parents are now involved EVERYDAY, if they choose, in our classroom! What?! What?!
-
A4: I'd love some standing tables.
-
Oh my goodness this sounds so fun!! :)
-
-
Students can design their own dojo if they want! Love that idea - extra motivation
-
It was a game changer for sure. I taught at-risk HS Ss & they LOVED it! We meditated & unplugged a lot. It was awesome!
-
I want some nesting standing tables... more space and varied heights for the kids too
https://t.co/JIA6td54Km
-
-
A4: I'd love some standing tables.
-
I bought a bunch of lamps at Walmart. My kids love the natural lighting
-
A5: We use classdojo school wide for only positive behaviors. Ss can earn points anywhere in the building from any adult.
-
I was just thinking - if my boss had that as a reward I would probably behave better at school too
-
A5 we worked together to create our dojo behaviors and the point values. Makes it all more real to them when they are received.
-
A6 The students may get discouraged instead of encouraged by the points
-
I have parents that message me through the ClassDojo app to ask about their child and it has been very positive
-
A6 EMOTIONAL ENVIRONMENT IS EVERYTHING - you can learn if you have to protect yourself from harm!
-
They love it and they get to jump the number of points they have that day https://t.co/91FPA8kOLW
-
-
Oh my goodness this sounds so fun!! :)
-
A6: Ss need to be able to visualize the kind of classroom they want to be part of. Consequences and rewards ensures it happens
-
A6: Ss need to feel safe and secure before any true learning can occur. Positive social/emotional environment is crucial
-
-
A6 EMOTIONAL ENVIRONMENT IS EVERYTHING!You CAN'T learn if you have to protect yourself from harm!
-
-
A6. A lot of our young people ton't have social/emotional support and guidance from home, so it's up to us to set the tone
-
-
A6: An action plan is essential for sustainability. High staff turnover & working w/ volunteers makes consistency a challenge.
-
if they create their own student account they can customize their little creature I'm pretty sure
-
A6) The social / emotional is what students will remember. It all comes back to relationships.
-
A6 I don't care if Ss come from best home on the planet -- we have to teach and create a great place to learn!
-
A6 relationships are key to learning
-
A6 MUST have a vision for the culture of your room. Make it clear. Make the plan. Get passionate about it.
-
A6 in order for anything to work well, Ss must feel like they are loved and belong in the class. Social/emotional is everything
-
I agree! Clip charts can embarrass Ss and parents can't easily see them. ClassDojo is more engaging and motivating
-
-
-
It is essential to be clear and consistent with your expectations and how your environment should be but have a growth mindset
-
-
A6 Ss need to feel loved and safe before any learning can begin
-
A7: Always start with a lot of relationship building activities at the beginning of the year before any content is taught
-
you can! They have a 'customize monster' option on their screen!
-
A4 dreaming of every student having an iPad so much more learning tools available online to augment teaching/learning
-
-
-
A7. Lead by example, model, promote through instruction, discussion, reward positive behaviours to reinforce the environment
-
A7 Easy ? RIGHT? It starts with Ts. Be reasonable, clear, fair, and open.
-
. Well put. Have you seen 's work on . https://t.co/Hmgul9QUAl
-
-
A6 EMOTIONAL ENVIRONMENT IS EVERYTHING!You CAN'T learn if you have to protect yourself from harm!
-
A7 Establish that all students are equally as important students no matter their amount of points
-
A7: We set norms about how our classroom looks and sounds and how we want to treat one another. Need to consistently enforce!
-
A7 AND FOR THE SAKE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD - APOLOGIZE WHEN YOU NEED TO -
-
Relationships!!! Remember respect is earned not demanded kids need to know you care and love being there
-
A7: Prove to your students that you care about them, believe in them, & that you ALWAYS will follow through with promises
-
A7 Constantly discuss & practice growth mindset, striving for excellence, being a person of integrity, grit, "We Can Do It"-ness
-
A7) We set expectations and consequences together. We practice the golden rule
-
A7 start from day 1! Show Ss as the teacher what you expect. Lead by example. Allow Ss voices to be heard when making rules
-
A7. Build relationships from the get-go. Be consistent, respectful, and fair.
-
A7 always be respectful. I am respectful because that is who I choose to be. it is dependent on no one but me.
-
Q7: I heard recently that you should begin each day/project/activity with a "big start" and a "triumphant finish."
-
A7: RELATIONSHIPS, RELATIONSHIPS, RELATIONSHIPS. Without them, we have nothing.
-
A7: Create a family environment in the classroom. Have Ss help set classroom expectations/rules
-
A growth mindset!!!!!! This is needed!!
-
-
We started w/ a lot of get to know you actives at the beginning and do class meetings daily https://t.co/d1CSix7EAs
-
as a future educator I will keep this in mind!
-
A7: All about building a relationship- making them feel secure and safe then they will treat their classmates the same
-
Oh I love all these answers to Question 7!!!
-
the convo I had with parents was about Dojo points. I let them know about the positive pts their child had earned.
-
A7 I don't remember a single lesson from school but remember every teacher who was kind, but stronger still remember mean ones
-
A6 important to continually let students know they are valued/supported no matter their performance while believing for more
-
A7: Morning meetings also help set a daily positive tone
-
A7: Show your students that you are human, you make mistakes, you are still learning & growing. We are in this together
-
A7 we have a "change your mind, change your mindset" bulletin board. Changes Ss viewpoint. They are all capable!
-
We always have morning meeting and closing circle. We begin and end the day with a cheer as well https://t.co/62xoh3tNYg
-
-
Q7: I heard recently that you should begin each day/project/activity with a "big start" and a "triumphant finish."
-
So important to remember! It is impossible to have a positive environment if Ss don't feel welcomed and included
-
-
I love that idea! That also encourages growth mindset in your students!
-
A7 Love our class meeting area - it's where we gather as a family and reinforce that we've got each others' backs!
-
Thanks for letting me slip on by today. Need to drop out a little early
-
Yes!I also have students week 1 create their own classroom norms. We make a poster w/ them and all sign it https://t.co/vm5J97tI1d
-
-
A7: Create a family environment in the classroom. Have Ss help set classroom expectations/rules
-
-
A7 also have one shelf in the classroom where Ss bring one personal item to keep on the shelf. Makes the classroom feel like home
-
LOVE THIS! https://t.co/HmT1ImRk4b
-
-
Q7: I heard recently that you should begin each day/project/activity with a "big start" and a "triumphant finish."
-
-
Thank you for all of your awesome imput!
-
A6) If students do not feel safe, comfortable, respected, and happy they will not be able to maximize their learning potential.
-
A7: Start each day with a smile and a positive comment
-
-
A7 we must do the hard work of letting them learn in a place where ideas can be explored without mocking
-
-
so simple but such a great idea!
-
A6: School is their first shot at learning about the work environment, foster as much positivity/problem solving
-
A7: Take time to get to know your students. Their passions & dreams. Teach the student 1st, content 2nd.
-
Thanks for joining, Craig!! :)
-
A7 STOP TALKING AND LISTEN!!
-
-
Most important is developing their inner man and giving them permission to dream big they have purpose to lead now no matter age
-
A8 I am reminded that I wish year 20 Teacher Me, could go back and talk to Year 1 Teacher Me
-
A8 In my future class I will work so hard to establish those positive learning relationships early to try and foster learning
-

that relates back to the Danielson Framework so closely!
