Creating Significant Learning Environments
What is a learning environment?
Learning environments are enriching spaces that foster the development of young children. These include the classroom, play spaces, care routine, and outdoor areas. Learning environments are well-organized and managed spaces.
How do we create learning environments?
When creating a learning environment, the role of the teacher is crucial. They must adapt content and teaching resources to meet the needs of their students, while also fostering a positive learning climate and building trust.
​​Please join me in this endeavor, where we will explore the options and resources to establish an environment of trust and learning for our students and teachers in alignment with my Innovation plan. Everyone deserves a positive workplace where they feel comfortable and are not obligated to be there but rather look forward to returning the next day.
New Culture of Learning
As educators, it's important that we adapt to the needs of the new generation of students. A new learning culture has emerged in classrooms and it's not going away anytime soon. Sometimes, we may desire change, but we're not always willing to put in the effort to make it happen. Therefore, it's crucial for us to have a positive attitude towards new developments and leverage the resources at our disposal to help our students learn effectively.

My Learning Philosophy
A learning philosophy represents an individual's beliefs and discoveries about learning. It addresses the fundamental "why" questions, such as the purpose of learning, and its significance in one's personal and professional life, instead of the "how" questions relating to learning style or the "what" questions about the content.

Aligning Outcomes, Assessment and Activities
As part of my Innovation Plan, I will create a 3-column table of learning outcomes for my educational environment. When creating planning documents that provide a critical view of the learning environment, it is essential to prioritize the development of effective learning objectives/outcomes and align them with assessments and activities, which is why I will delve into greater detail on planning assessments and learning activities focused on my Innovation Plan.
Understanding by Desing (UbD)
The UbD framework, which stands for Understanding by Design, is a comprehensive approach to curriculum planning, assessment, and instruction. Overall, the UbD framework provides a structured and effective approach to designing and implementing a curriculum that prioritizes student learning and understanding.

Growth of mindset in learning environments
Creating a growth mindset in learning environments is crucial. It helps individuals understand that they can develop their abilities and intelligence through dedication and hard work. The mindset encourages individuals to embrace challenges and persist through obstacles, leading to greater success in learning and personal growth. I would like to explain how this mentality positively influences learning environments. To learn more, click on the following link.
