Designing Effective Science Lessons: Session 4 - Creating a Learning Environment
 

 
Goals/Objectives  

The fourth and final DESL workshop, Designing Effective Science Lessons: Creating a Learning Environment, helps teachers create a classroom environment that promotes learning. This learning environment includes relationships among students and between the teacher and the students, the physical space of the classroom, and the expectations and norms for learning and behavior.

As a result of this session, participants will:

  • Understand strategies for creating a learning environment and apply them to their own classrooms
  • Improve the environment in their classrooms and the quality of their science lessons
Description  This session of Designing Effective Science Lessons helps teachers develop positive student attitudes and motivation to learn science, give timely and criterion-referenced feedback, keep students focused on learning, and involve students in assessing their own progress. Participants in this session will learn to show through their actions that they believe all students have the ability to learn, and teach students to think scientifically.
