This could be a process that entails staging the physical space, getting the students to
cooperate, creating a communal environment, and finally maintaining a positive classroom
climate and culture.

The physical space

It includes the layout and arrangement of the desks or tables, the placement of computers and
equipment, and items on the bulletin boards and walls.
 Arrangement of Chairs in the class room
 Bulletin boards

Getting Students to Cooperate

One of the most challenging aspects of maintaining a neat and organized environment that is
conducive to learning is getting the students to cooperate. To begin, you should clearly define the
rules and routines for transitions between activities and classes. Practice the transitions with the
class, and correct undesirable behaviors. Decrease the amount of unstructured time by having
materials prepared and readily available.

After you’ve established the ground rules, you’re responsible for making appropriate demands,
giving clear signals, and being consistent. You’ll also learn to anticipate problems and correct
them as a means of preventing disorder. You must have a plan for every minute of the day and
have a goal of keeping students busy.

Creating a Communal Atmosphere

A communal atmosphere is a feeling established by instilling a sense of community among the

students. Another way to express this is creating a learning community. After establishing the
rules, routines, and transitions, your next objective will be to transition the classroom into a
communal atmosphere, focusing on relationships and taking a personal interest in each
contributor to the community.

Classroom Climate and Culture

After establishing a classroom community, the final step in creating a positive atmosphere
conducive to learning is to develop a positive classroom climate and culture. A classroom’s
climate and culture are the atmosphere and quality of life in a classroom. Your role as teacher is
that of the primary contributor to the climate and culture. Your interaction with the students,
disciplinary measures, mannerisms, support, encouragement, cooperation, and focus on
individual students all contribute to an atmosphere conducive to learning.

Assuring Good Governance

Good governance practices support collage by helping them manage their resources so they can
deliver quality education. A more democratic and responsive system of collage management,
including more efficient utilization of resources. It can be assured through;
 Greater participation of all stakeholders (teachers, students, parents and collage
management) in the development of school policies, rules, plans, and code of conduct
 Greater transparency in all collage activities, including increased flow of information
among all stakeholders about collage plans, finances, rules and regulations, and programs
 Participation students
 Formation of anticorruption club
 Formation of the Parent–Teacher Association through an election process

Ensuring Resources Availability

resources are used for teaching
