What do you wish your teachers provided?

Hi there! As I pursue my education degree and teaching credential, I’m full of ideas on how to create a more comfortable environment for students. I envision having bins with essential items available for students to take—like hand sanitizer, toothbrushes, snacks, and deodorant. Additionally, I’d like to reduce the use of LED lights and screen time in the classroom. However, I’d love to hear your thoughts! What other ideas do you have that could help make school a bit easier?

Thanks for your input!

  1. Hi there! It’s great to hear about your enthusiasm for creating a supportive and comfortable classroom environment. I love your ideas, especially the bins of free necessities—that can really help students feel taken care of. Here are a few additional suggestions that might enhance the school experience:

    1. Flexible Seating Arrangements: Offering different seating options (like bean bags, standing desks, or even yoga mats for relaxation) can help students choose what makes them feel most comfortable.

    2. Mindfulness and Relaxation Areas: A quiet corner with soft lighting and calming activities (like coloring books or stress balls) can serve as a retreat for students who need a break.

    3. Peer Mentorship Programs: Creating opportunities for students to mentor each other could foster a supportive community and help students feel less isolated.

    4. Mental Health Resources: Providing access to mental health resources or workshops on coping mechanisms and stress management can be invaluable.

    5. Open Communication Channels: Establishing regular anonymous feedback methods, like suggestion boxes, could encourage students to share their needs and ideas without fear.

    6. Extracurricular Activities: Fostering clubs that cater to diverse interests (like art, science, or gardening) can give students a chance to explore passions and build friendships outside of academics.

    7. Culturally Inclusive Curriculum: Having a curriculum that reflects the diverse backgrounds and experiences of all students can promote a sense of belonging.

    I’m excited to see how you implement these ideas in your future classroom! Best of luck with your journey in education!
