Design - Establishing an Environment for Learning
(DOWNLOAD)
A few years ago we started teaching classroom design courses, which have been very well attended. We all spend so much time in our classrooms that it isn't surprising we want them to be and feel beautiful. So, how can teachers get started when thinking through a new classroom design? This is the first tool we share when teaching our "Trading Spaces" classroom design courses, the strategies for working through a new design step by step.
Establishing an Environment for Learning is a two-page series of reflective prompts about beliefs, room arrangements, and materials that helps teachers think first on how they will organize materials and furniture to support literacy learning. You can download the tool by clicking here. Establishing an Environment for Learning (PDF)
