Building A Positive Environment -A Must For Learning June 7, 2008 The tone of the classroom is so important to optimize learning. Every teacher (and parent as well) needs to be aware and purposely set as their goal to create an environment that fosters learning. Another book that does an outstanding job at designing a creative, loving and nurturing environment in the classroom and school is Bully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullying. Highly recommended...it is filled with loads of units, scripts, and activities to help build self-esteem and help children get along.

I was actually a student in Tana's University classroom. It was this book that allowed me to learn a ton of information about ideas to use in the classroom, regarding issues that sometimes hinder emotional well being. It is my hope that all teachers incorporate emotional well being awareness into their everyday classrooms.
