Creating the Best Learning Environment

Help me give my students a calming class environment with shade covers and lamps. Studies have shown a class environment without overhead lighting is better for students nervous systems.

My Project

Help me provide a better learning environment for our EL students. There are many things about the built and natural environments that can impact student learning, with some researchers suggesting that 10 to 15 percent of variance in academic outcomes is influenced by the environment.

One thing that greatly impacts learning is the quality of light in the classroom.

Certain types of lighting negatively impact students, while other types of lighting enhance student comfort and improve their overall performance. I have selected several lamps and overhead lighting covers/filters to help create a positive environment in the classroom. The filters also reduce fluorescent light glare and filter out potentially damaging UV radiation. They help to decrease visual fatigue, eye strain, and headaches.

But lighting is just one aspect of a classroom’s physical environment that affects how good—or poorly—our students are likely to do. The air quality in the classroom can affect a students health, especially those who suffer with allergies and asthma. I have selected several air purifiers to help improved the air quality inside our classroom.
