= The Classroom Environment Blueprint = In discussing what a successful teacher's objectives for a classroom environment should be, our group concluded that there are many factors that can influence the enviornment. With a limit of 10 minutes for our presentation, we chose to focus on the following three aspects of classroom environment:


 * Community in the Classroom - The way teachers organize their classrooms can say a lot about the community. Teachers can affect many different factors, including seating arrangements, how students are grouped for classwork, and student relationships.

Discipline and Structure - The environment must be positive, structured, and safe.

Wall Art - What is hung on the wall of a classroom can influence the value students believe is placed on their work, highlight the relevance and importance students find in what they are studying, and provide tools and ideas for students to use throughout the schoolday.**
