DOES THE ROOM IN WHICH YOU TEACH SAY "COME IN"?

Are there eye-appealing decorations on the door?

Are walls painted with colors carefully chosen to be a supportive element in the teaching/learning environment?

Is the room well-lighted?

Are bulletin boards attractive? Bulletin boards and display areas can be used as a tool to motivate, teach and enrich your lesson. Whenever possible, let the children be involved in the construction of the display area and in the lesson it’s designed to teach.

Are pictures mounted attractively and at eye level?

Pictures provide a valuable substitute when personal experiences are impossible. All visible teaching materials should be changed often and from the current unit of study.

Is there adequate storage? Hinged shelves on rolling casters allows flexible space for storage.
