The classroom environment can set the tone for everything that happens in the room during the school day. Providing a warm and welcoming environment helps students be ready to learn. To help make my classroom fit this bill, I've chosen Educational Insights' fluorescent light filters and incandescent Edison lighting to make my room a warm and fun place to study Science.
Studies show that fluorescent lights can have an adverse effect on students who struggle with ADD/ADHD, and even those who may struggle with anxiety. Filtering and softening the harsh fluorescent lights and supplementing the lighting with incandescent lights will help my students feel more relaxed--and able to learn.
I regularly turn off the fluorescents and use what natural sunlight we get from the windows in my room. I notice that during those times, my students are better able to focus on the tasks at hand. But sunlight isn't always reliable; on darker days or even at certain times during the day it's just not enough light to work by. Having the filters and alternative lighting would provide consistency that my students need to succeed.
