Are your students feeling uneasy about the environment that you've already created? your first step should be to ask them what you could be doing to help them:
- Are you moving from one lesson to another too quickly? Too slowly?
- Are they disengaged from one particular topic?
- Do they like to work by themselves or are they more comfortable breaking down into teams?
So take steps to change yourself to fit in with how they want to learn first and foremost.
2- Work On Yourself As An Educator:
You can create safe learning environment for children if you also lead by example. If you show kids how important kindness is by taking every opportunity to be kind yourself, they will follow. The reverse is true, however if you are quick to lose your temper, this will set a negative example that will eventually become hard to break from.
3-Celebrate Achievements:
One of the major benefits of safe learning environment is that students will be proud with their work and in themselves. One way for reaching such goal is to skip right to the end result and celebrate their achievements as they are happening. By celebrating all students, you foster an open environment filled with happiness and creativity.
4- Build A Judgment- free Zone
If you ask most adults why they're afraid of public speaking, one of the most common answers that you will get is that they're afraid of being judged. The same concept is true of young students. If they feel like any time they open their mouth to answer a question they might get judged negatively by their peers, they will stop opening themselves up.So to combat this, you need to go out of your way to create an environment free from judgment.let them now that differing opinions are great thing and that being "wrong" isn't a bad thing.
