KEYS to Teaching Success: Standard 7: Positive Learning Environment
Introduction
The seventh standard of the Georgia Intern KEYS rubric focuses on creating and maintaining a well-managed, safe, and orderly environment. It is a requirement of all teachers to ensure the classroom environment supports all students to learn in a productive manner. By attending to rules, routines, and student identity, teachers ensure that students can attend to learning engagements. In today's changing world, you must be mindful of both a physical, classroom environment and any online or digital spaces as well.
