How can teachers create a classroom culture where great thinkers thrive?

What kind of energy do you bring to the room?

The environment we are part of impacts our emotions and well-being. If we are not intentional about the kind of environment and culture we want to create, it defaults to whatever it will be. 

And this can mean a toxic environment too. 

Now more than ever, it is crucial to design a classroom culture where students feel safe, supported and confident. 

When students have such an environment, their emotional and mental state will improve and their ability to think clearly and learn. 

Today we know that emotional well-being and cognitive abilities are two sides of the same coin. Therefore, we need to look after both sides to provide our students with a great learning environment.  

In episode 15 of The Thinking Effect, we talk about how you can create an environment that enables optimal learning. 

Tune in now to learn more about building the kind of culture that unlocks your students' ability to think deeply, and enables them to give their best and not be held back by fear, anxiety or other factors.

Don’t let your culture default to something that is not desirable, as you can easily design an environment where students feel safe to explore their passions, take risks, and create.
