classroom climate
Educational setting mood
Classroom climate is the overall atmosphere or emotional environment in a learning space, shaped by relationships between teachers and students, expectations, and how people treat each other.
A positive classroom climate feels safe and supportive; a negative one feels hostile or anxiety-inducing.
The term appears frequently in educational research and teacher training: Studies show that classroom climate affects student engagement more than class size does.
