ANSWER:
Effective School Environment
A school environment is a crucial component of student’s life. Schools
should provide students with a safe environment in which to nurture and grow
emotionally, behaviorally and academically; and at the same developing relationships
with others. Each and every student requires structure, respect, stability, limitation and
boundaries and safe environment or an environment. In the school environment, there
are things that positively influence student’s performance. Such things include having
good friends within the school, perceiving that teachers are caring and supportive,
believing that discipline is efficient and fair, participating in extracurricular activities,
being a part of a school and having a sense of belonging. Students become
incorporated in their environment when they perceive that the adults in the school mind
about them as individuals and their learning.
