Powerful Learning Environments


Describe a particularly effective or ineffective classroom environment you experienced in the past. Compare the features of this environment to the research on effective classroom environments described in the Module 8 reading. What implications do you draw from your experience and the research to inform your future practice? What considerations will be most important in the classroom environment for the age group you expect to teach?
