Classroom learning environment and its components
Interactional environment
INTERACTIONAL ENVIRONMENT
- How children interact with objects, peers, adults and engage in shared and sustained conversations.
- How the student interacts with the environment and how they move around the classroom.
Everything in the classroom must be aimed toward student autonomy.
For the interactional environment, we are providing the following material:
- Variety of activity types, with logos
- Instruction cards
- Workbooks
- Learning maps
- DPC Sheet (Days per chapter)
- Tab
- Other TLM

3. Workbooks – Sample workbook and worksheets
- Instead of heavy textbooks, content is in the form of cards and workbooks
- Workbooks allow for plenty of writing practise, and problem solving
- Encourage independent work
4. Learning Map
- Provides a snapshot of all the learning activities that have to be done and their sequence
- Content is broken down into easy, manageable tasks that are in instructional cards.
- The logos and numbers on the map correspond to the cards. Look at the logo and number on the map and pick up the corresponding card.
5. Days per chapter
The teacher must fill the “days per chapter” sheet regularly. This way she will be able to keep a track of all the students progress. The days per chapter provides information to the teacher about which chapter the students are in and how many days they took to complete the chapters.
6. Tablets
- Online activities on the tablet appearing at the correct intervals
- Supplement the introduction, practise, reinforcement, and assessment for that chapter
- Allow seamless CCE without being burdensome to the students
