The classroom climate refers to the overall mood and environment felt by students and teachers in the classroom. A positive climate is safe, respectful, and supportive of learning, while a negative climate feels hostile or out of control. An ideal climate is business-like yet non-threatening, with clear expectations and rules established from day one, where the teacher is in control but cares about students, and students take responsibility for their own behavior.
