What impact does the classroom environment have on overall class behavior and learning? Many teachers face disruptive behavior in their classrooms. How can they target and change problem areas in the classroom environment? By collecting data on students' engagement during instruction, disruptive behavior, and teacher observations, teachers can identify which physical aspects of their classroom need to be improved. Changing the classroom environment can increase academic engagement and decrease disruptive behavior.
