“…The physical environment includes the brick-and-mortar structures within which learning occurs and all the necessary materials, resources, and human sources in those spaces to support learning. In this environment, students should have equitable access to differentiated human support, materials, and resources (e.g., above grade level books located in the classroom library that they can physically reach) that are culturally relevant (e.g., reflecting a diverse range of authors, characters, and settings; Fugate et al, 2021). When students see themselves represented in the physical learning space, it will promote a positive affective learning environment, which in turn, can motivate students to learn and come to school.…”
