According to Dr. Christopher Willard, psyD, “Classroom environment has a profound impact on children’s social and academic development.” A positive environment can increase engagement, motivation, and a sense of belonging, while a negative environment can lead to disruptions, decreased motivation, and a sense of isolation.
