comfortable surroundings in creating a positive school climate in which students can learn. It

comfort of the school's physical structure, as well as its location within the community.

Teachers communicate within the psychological environment through their attitudes,
feelings of excitement, values, and principles. Most students enter the educational process
expecting to be encouraged and assisted in their learning. The psychological environment in the
classroom sets the stage for the expression of ideas, opinions, and attitudes, the asking of
questions, and the investigation of concerns. Essentially, the quality of relationships among
students as well as between students, teachers, other school personnel, and school leadership.

Describe the social environment:


Positive social environments promote acceptance, kindness, forgiveness and opportunities
to make mistakes without consequences. These gentle learning environments can be incredibly
important for diverse students.
