First, there has to be an equal amount of stability for each individual student. Such as establishing a setting that can help every individual’s learning style and material understanding. In "The Perfect Classroom According to Science," by Sarika Bansal states that in order to make the perfect classroom it needs to have; light, have a quiet noise level, the classroom temperature has to be 68-74 degrees Fahrenheit, …show more content…
However, the separation of class and race divides the possibility to accomplish an ideal classroom everyone. When I was little I experienced a divergence of classroom environments from a sheltered classroom to a classroom described in "The Perfect Classroom According to Science". What I learned from my experience and in this week 's reading is that there are social inequalities such as class and race that have an impactful difference in the restrictions in creating a stable classroom. For example, when I was in elementary school I went to a private school in Costa Mesa. Where you had to camp for weeks to get in. In this school, the classrooms had windows that were exposed to light, there were many plants by the window margin, group desks, and many inspirational posters. In this school; I was very motivated, active in various school activities, and had high honors. When I moved to Corona (a fairly middle class environment), the classrooms had some lighting, but still had desk arranged in a group, there were many inspirational posters, and plants. My grades in this school were still good, but my school participation increased

    Rusty, dark, and tight is what can describe Woodbridge Middle School, a school that is one hundred six years old and is evident by how the school is taken care of, or lack of. Students spend a significant amount of time at school and should feel excited and comfortable to be there. The problem with having schools that are not receiving proper care while there are schools that are well off is that they receive more assistance which results in an unequal balance of resources being distributed. Yet these schools that get the short end of the stick learn to work with what they have, but if one thinks of that mentality that might not get the school working full speed ahead. In Woodbridge Middle School, when one enters one sees that a lot of classes…

    The other preschool classroom I observed was the Desert Vista High School Early Learning Center. The indoor environment of their classroom is smaller than my dream classroom but there is many different places for the children and students to play with toys, games and sing silly songs. Their indoor environment is very energetic because of the places and things that the children can play and do in the classroom with their classmates and teachers which is important because they want the children to have fun and feel safe. The outside environment is very cool because the children are able to do what they want and play and run off some energy but they are also able to play some pretty cool games with other children. There daily schedule is very simple because…

    After reading these articles I can clearly understand that racism, sexism, disabilities, and more issues are big factors in school. As future educators, we need to set our classroom to be a fair environment where everyone is accepted and can be themselves. One of my favorite articles was “A Professor Tackles Racism in the Classroom”. This article brought the issues to life and it discussed a teacher addressing the issues to her students. My favorite line in the article was “Spaces within the classroom must encourage and nurture students to bring their entire selves- their angry selves, their fragile selves, their wounded selves- as they struggle with issues of race and racism” (Yancy, 2009).…

    In her book, hooks explores the theory of teaching, or pedagogy, and how her personal learning experiences have influenced her pedagogy. Hooks argues that an essential part of the classroom is that “the professor must genuinely value everyone’s presence. There must be an ongoing recognition that everyone influences the classroom dynamic, that everyone contributes” (8). This argument is inspired by hook’s personal experience of transitioning from a segregated to non-segregated school. Due her continued exclusion even in a non-segregated setting, hooks has a strong belief that in the classroom, everyone should be treated as the equals they are. By hooks’ logic, equality entails equality of influence in a group.…

    A classroom’s community and environment is what allows students to either learn successfully or unsuccessfully. If the environment is not welcoming, safe, and encouraging a student’s basic needs will not be met and their academic success will suffer consequently. I aspire to create a classroom environment that exudes creativity, safety, equity, and community. In order to create a collaborative learning environment, as I desire to, I must also adhere to learning differences of students and the uniqueness of my students’ development patterns. The following paper will discuss my understanding of how different students progress, how I will address the range of learning preferences and cultures, as well as how I will use that knowledge to create a collaborative learning environment.…
