One of the most important tasks for a primary school teacher is the creation of an effective
learning environment. If the classroom is an effective learning environment, students will
achieve more, have more positive attitudes toward education, and have more solid basic skills
throughout their lives.
There are many factors that are involved in creating an effective primary learning environment.
In an effective learning environment, teachers have thorough knowledge of their subjects. They
are interested in the subjects that they teach, are usually able to show the need for their subjects,
and they consider the success of their students important. Good teachers are able to assess
learning effectively. They also are able to control their classes and treat all students equally. The
Primary National Strategy supports improving most of these factors, but more needs to be done.
A teacher's knowledge of their subject matter is very important factor in that teacher's
effectiveness. A teacher with a high level of knowledge can usually explain a subject better to
students. They will rely less on simple memorization and they will be able to answer any
unexpected questions by students. They will receive more respect from students. They act as a
good role model for students as they can show that learning their subjects is necessary and
possibly fun. A teacher should also be interested in their subject matter. Development materials
for The Standards Site claim that teachers should "Inspire learning through passion for the
subject. This includes: bringing the subject alive; and making it relevant to learners' wider goals
and concerns" (Excellence and Enjoyment: learning and teaching in the primary years, 2004).
Teachers that are interested in their subjects can spread their enthusiasm to the class and they
will enjoy their job more. A uninterested teacher will probably cause more students to lack
interest in the subject. Children are also more likely to learn a subject if the need for them to
learn it is explained.
Teachers should consider it very important that their students succeed. They should set high
standards, and they should also be able to help any students that have minor troubles. They
should use pedagogical strategies that are appropriate to the ages and capabilities of the students
in their classes. Teacher development materials claim that teachers should "Make individuals
active partners in their learning. This includes: building respectful teacher-learner relationships
that take learners' views and experience fully into account, as well as data on their performance;
and using assessment for learning to help learners assess their work, reflect on how they learn,
and inform subsequent planning and practice" (Excellence and Enjoyment: learning and teaching
in the primary years, 2004). They also emphasize that teachers should "Structure and pace the
learning experience to make it challenging and enjoyable.
Teachers must also be able to maintain control over their classroom. If they fail to do this, most
students will not be able to learn effectively. There also will be severe disciplinary problems, and
some students might be threatened. All students should be treated equally. If teachers play
favorites or practice discriminatory behavior, many students will dislike them, and the education
of the students that are discriminated against will suffer. Discrimination by teachers can also lead
to legal problems for the schools. The new arrivals excellence program has been started to make
sure that "All new arrivals, including refugees, asylum seekers, and economic migrants from
overseas have the right to enjoy a welcoming, safe, and stress-free
environment within the school.
If students are taught effectively, they will achieve at high levels, become more interested in learning,
and cause fewer disciplinary problems. A poor learning environment in a primary school can severely
harm the intellectual development of children. A teacher should plan to create an effective learning
environment wherever they teach.
