To get the most potential from our brains, we must set up an atmosphere that is conducive to maintaining a positive, successful environment. Classroom Strategies: The color of a room has a significant impact on how the brain first reacts. o Primary Students-use high-contrast colors such as reds, oranges, and yellows. o Secondary Students-use less distracting and stress reducing colors such as blues and greens. Keep the room as close to 70 degrees as possible. The ideal temperature range is between 68 and 72 degrees.

Keep your room neat and uncluttered. Be a role model for the organization you would like the students to have.
