5 small thoughts for classroom design that make a big difference. 1. Add doors to fitted storage to hide clutter and make the space feel calmer. Magnetic/ writeable cupboard doors can also double as display or idea space too. 2. Coordinate cabling between learning screens & desks to avoid trailing wires & awkwardness in changing classrooms through the day. 3. Label lighting & ventilation controls to help teachers understand how to control the room they are working in. This reduces frustration for & helps reduce energy consumption. 4. Select classroom tables & chairs that stack, fold or have wheels & are light enough for students to move so the furniture isn't standing in the way of adaptability. 5. Plan out how & where student work will be displayed. This is a big part of making 'learning visible' so it shouldn't feel like a second thought.

#ThursdayThoughts 💡 What are learning space pilot programs, and what are the benefits of these experiences? "A learning spaces pilot experience tests spatial designs for classrooms. Successful programs generally are a semester in length and can involve numerous classrooms. The pilot aims to test furniture, flooring, lighting, color palettes, whiteboards, and technology, as well as understand teacher and student behaviors in the space, preferences for specific aspects of the designs, and how multiple designs impact the teaching and learning experience." Schools that engage in a pilot experience develop a deep understanding of what works and what doesn’t. Classroom redesign is expensive, so pilot programs help schools be wise stewards of their finances. Also, the decisions made about classroom design impact decades of use - it’s critical to get the right information to make the right decisions."
