A Positive Learning Environment
9/8/2017
Pacific Northern Academy educates students to become independent thinkers of vision, courage, and integrity. We want to provide students a positive learning environment where they feel safe to take risks and take responsibility for their actions. In third grade, students worked together to create classroom guidelines that serve as their road map to reaching their hopes and dreams. Students individually contributed what they think we should include in our classroom guidelines. Then, they brainstormed and discussed with a partner. Finally, as a class, we consolidated our list and decided on our final guidelines. Since students created their own classroom rules or guidelines, they feel that they have a sense of ownership and accountability.
