1. Building positive relationships
A positive learning environment values all students and is a safe, supportive and inclusive place to learn. Members of the school community generate and sustain authentic relationships with and between students.
The teacher takes an interest in each student’s learning and understands the context they bring. Each student’s background, culture and interests are used to engage them. The students receive acceptance, respect, warmth, encouragement and understanding from the teacher.
Teachers create an environment where learners feel safe to explore new knowledge and understandings.
Positive interactions between teachers and students extend beyond the classroom walls.
The quality of relationships that teachers have with their students is an essential for effective classroom management. If there is a ‘breakdown’ in a relationship a restorative approach is preferred and undertaken by all parties.
All members of the school community are responsible for, and respectful of the physical learning environment and spaces. Teacher’s use of physical spaces are varied and often related to the instructional methods being used.
