The problem is that most education professionals’ theories are neither well-informed nor clearly articulated. Thus, for this paper, you will articulate your theory of how to establish the best learning environment. You will support it by using theoretical perspectives of what defines the best in education from a Christian perspective. Your completed paper will give you a conceptual framework from which to draw strategies and practices for the success of all parties involved in the teaching-learning process.InstructionsThe paper must be a total of 7 pages: 5 pages for the body, 1 title page, and 1 reference page.
