Design - Gathering Space and Focus Lessons (ARTICLE)
When creating a culture for learning and independence, two of the essential pieces are a gathering place and focus lessons. A gathering place is an open space large enough for the whole class to gather while sitting on the floor. The space also includes a chart rack and white board for focus lessons, class created anchor (or living) charts, an overhead projector or document camera, Café Menu board and other teaching materials. We have a gathering place in every classroom we teach, regardless of the age level. Even intermediate aged students benefit from this gathering routine. . . .
