Introduction
The main purpose of this assignment is to analyze the arrangement of the classroom environment and assess why this kind of environment would efficaciously meet the individual needs of children with autism. Specifically, the video is one of a self-contained classroom that is designed for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The paper will outline the different modifications as well as visual supports that have been utilized in the classroom setting so that children with ASD can actively participate in everyday activities.
Classroom Analysis
One of the key perceptible aspects within the classroom that have been modified to facilitate learning for the students with ASD is visual supports. For instance, in the class tasks for the day, pictures have been used to illustrate precisely what will be the tasks for the day. In addition, it can be seen that each of the students including Aaron, Evans, Joe, and Amauri have a thread of similar pictures that demonstrate precisely what they will do. This is largely beneficial for the students for the reason that individuals with autism can learn, understand and remember information more easily when it is presented in a visual manner. In fact, the students with ASD will easily learn new concepts and think of them in pictures because they may have challenges in comprehending both oral and written information. By placing the tasks in pictures,...
Furthermore, the schedule clearly delineates in pictures the specific materials to be used and the distinct directions for when the ASD students can move to get materials. For instance, the visual schedule shows the different tasks. For instance when they are done with reading, they can take papers from the folder. The schedule also shows how the students can use scissors and glue and the precise manner that they can undertake it.
Secondly, the class environment has been kept with as minimal amount of clutter as possible. In particular, the class has specific places for different items such as papers and pens being positioned in drawers. In addition, the papers and items have been put in shelves and stored in a clutter-free manner. The key benefit of doing this is to ensure that the students are not distracted easily and also at the same time making certain that they do not become over-stimulated by the other items within the class setting. Furthermore, each of the students has their individual work stations in order to avoid being overwhelmed by the actions being undertaken by their fellow students. In addition, the students can become easily agitated and this can interfere with the individual activities being undertaken and in overall the learning process.

Classroom Environment To create a positive classroom environment for my second graders, I try to frame everything in terms of what they should do, rather than what they should not do. We use the Responsive Classroom approach in our school, so the first six weeks is devoted to establishing classroom rules and procedures.

SUMMARY and CONCLUSION The traditional classroom environment is no longer supportive of student learning and it is critically necessary that educators address the current classroom environment as well as their instructional practice in the classroom if students are to be effectively prepared through education to take their rightful place in a global society characterized by information technology and networked business systems. The classroom environment that is characterized by different learning activities,
When examining the classroom, I will be sure to look from Tabitha's point-of-view ("A Preschool Classroom"). Because "children need an at home like atmosphere," I will be looking for three primary factors -- that the classroom is "attractive and inviting and safe" ("A Preschool Classroom"). In Tabitha's case, I will be especially sure to examine the art station to see if any safety or aesthetic issues are occurring. In addition,

The main way with which the zone of proximal development is applied in the classroom is through academic competitions and extra-curricular and co-curricular settings where students augment skills learned in the classroom. In attempts to improve student learning, Vygotsky various ideas and concepts of cognitive learning zones including the zone of proximal development. Since the concept takes place when students can complete tasks independently, it has been used as the
Classroom Design Environmental Design: Creating the Ideal Learning Atmosphere Classroom environment is an often overlooked but critical component to the learning experience at all levels of education. The proper classroom design serves four functions within the academic environment: to help focus and guide initial planning discussions for users and design professionals; to avoid reinventing the wheel for each new construction or renovation project; to standardize the inventory of classrooms by size and capabilities;
