A rich and engaging learning environment is one that makes room for a variety of resources, approaches, strategies, modalities and cultural products to design and actualize learning and assessment experiences.
This environment, which is intentionally designed by the teacher in collaboration with the learner and taking into account the context, must be functional, welcoming, warm and conducive to positive relationships. For learners to develop a sense of belonging to their community, the school has a responsibility to provide a safe environment in which they can have a variety of experiences that will forge their identity.
By proposing learning and assessment experiences that are varied, relevant, meaningful and engaging, teachers motivate learners to take responsibility, take risks, innovate and interact with others to co-construct their knowledge and develop their autonomy.
