Creating a positive classroom climate 
The general mood, tone, aura, ambiance, and “vibe” in a classroom can be referred to as its climate. What a 
teacher does in full view of his or her learners and how an instructor interacts with his or her students affects 
classroom climate. An overly negative, critical, and punitive person who assumes the role of a teacher is likely 
to display similar behaviors in the classroom to the detriment of attaining a positive classroom climate. 
Likewise, an aggressive student who bullies, intimidates, physically threatens, calls others names, and is 
verbally abusive toward others in a classroom can also affect the climate in a not-so-positive way. You can 
almost feel the nervous apprehension and discomfort that exists if you have ever been in a classroom where a 
teacher and perhaps a student (or students) consistently interact in an aggressive and negative manner with 
others. That is not a healthy situation in any classroom, at any level, and effective teachers do whatever is 
necessary to assure that such turbulence never enters the room.
Students need to be reminded (through the instructor’s observable and measurable behavior) that a teacher is 
in school to assist, and not to function as an adversary. What is necessary in establishing a positive classroom 
climate is for the teacher to create a learning environment that is warm and supportive, where student 
achievement and proper behavior are reinforced, where comfort is provided to those who need it, and where 
students experience safety and interpersonal warmth in a place that they look forward to being within. A 1960s-
style hippie commune need not be established, but any classroom that accepts and celebrates the individuality 
of each student while maintaining organized and effective instruction should be the goal of every teacher. 
Scheuermann and Hall suggest several strategies that are important in the establishment of a positive classroom 
climate that cover the social environment, the physical environment, the instructional environment, and the 
behavior management environment.
