Tip: Prosocial Education > Pillar 4 - Emotionally Upbeat Classroom
A positive classroom learning environment opens up learning possibilities. Students feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, asking questions, and trying new things without worrying they are going to be judged or made fun of. These classrooms have a warm, supportive atmosphere where students encourage one another.
The Emotionally Upbeat Classroom:
- Focuses more on positives (praise) than negatives (reprimands).
- Has strong TSR built on trust and respect.
- Has clear expectations shared at the beginning of the year, day, and learning activity.
