Creating A Positive Classroom Environment

A relevant goal for a teacher is to find a plausible way to create and mantain a positive environment at all times in a classroom. Such a challenge requires real effort and is a key element to succeed. 

-Attitude: It must be positive, which should not be confused with smiling or laughing all the time. But trying to make each topic as appealing as possible will always be productive.  The teacher has to be open to questions, show real interest in the content and pay attention to the group.

-Avoid Monotony: The surprise factor is actually necessary if we do not wish to lose our students' interest after a few days. Having all kinds of varied activities and giving a sense of novelty to our classes is advised. If we try to constantly innovate, it will be less likely that students get bored fast and fail to learn anything.

-Giving a balanced freedom: This is hard to achieve, but clearly not incredibly difficult either. Sometimes teachers create a negative environment by correcting their students way too much and often or forcing them to work with people they may not like. It is true that socializing should be encouraged, but there are times when only awkwardness is created. Teachers push students to do pointless activities, etc. So, we got to try to give some freedom, while still having enough control over the group. We should keep a proper measure, be creative. All this will lead to diminish tension, reluctancy, boredom and others.

Those are some ideas I thought of to create a positive feeling in the class, some of you guys already covered other points, good work.
