It is very important to make a student feel safe in the classroom,because students study well in the environment where they feel safe and respected.All students including those with learning difficulties can study well if they feel mentally and emotionally comfortable in the classroom.I n addition,when feeling safe in an atmosphere,they can openly express their concerns.Therefore,teachers are required to devote time to making students feel comfortable in class a nd must view it as an investment in strengthening the teacher-student relationship.
What makes a student feel safe in the classroom depends upon the quality of the relationship he shares with his teachers.With this aim,it’s quite necessary to build trust in the classroom.Trust building is a slow process which can be achieved through healthy interaction (互动) between students and teachers.Also developing respect for each other is necessary.When teachers truly listen to students and respect in the classroom is mutual between teacher and student,a productive classroom can be formed.Teachers feel good about the lessons they teach and students are engaged in learning.Teachers must try to build small but real life connections with the students and when one is able to do that,it creates a more relaxed atmosphere that supports studies.Gradually,students will feel a greater level of trust in teachers.
A positive environment is also very important for students to feel safe in the classroom.To create such an environme nt,teachers must display positive messages and quotes in the classroom and even ask students to contribute them.Make it a rule that only positive things will be talked about in the classroom.Prevent students from talking about other students’ pr ivate lives in an unkind way and stop them from bullying (欺凌) each other.Also,the most important is that teachers must try to make all students feel like they are an important part of the class.
