We spied this classroom at a local private school recently and think it has the markings of a collaborative, flexible learning environment. Just had to share. Notice the: ✅ Comfortable-looking chairs on wheels (with locking mechanisms if needed) ✅ Tables on wheels, with each one small enough to make various group configurations ✅ Whiteboards installed on every wall (and they appear to be in great shape; no ghosting) ✅ Markers and cleaning supplies available for whiteboards ✅ Projector installed ✅ Carpeted floor for sound dampening/noise control ✅ No clutter or distractions present; calm, minimalist design It didn't have external windows which can be hard (it was a basement room) but in all other respects we like the look of this space and think its setup contributes to great student learning. We love that there's no obvious place where the teacher would stand - we envision them moving around the room - and we can also picture students working together in pairs or small groups quite easily in this space. #roomsetup #roomsetups #training #education #learning #learningspaces #facilitation #facilitators #teaching #collaboration

The days of wooden desks and blackboards are far behind us. The modern classroom is a fluid space where learning happens in many ways and the design of these spaces needs to meet these ever-evolving methods and goals.

Calling all educators! 📢 Today, we dive into an often overlooked but crucial aspect of classroom design: the arrangement of furniture.

So we ask, how has furniture arrangement in your classroom affected student engagement? Share your experiences and insights with us using the hashtag #FurnitureImpact.

Mobility is certainly key! I would make a few tweaks in my own design. The two cave areas should be put together, not separated by the Nest interaction space. If you have students mindfully interacting, that’s great! But it also creates noise. A student seeking a cave area is looking to “quiet” the noise for a bit before returning & ready to learning. The cave areas should also be closest to the entrance/exit door. That positioning provides extra SEL support in their learning environment. Just like we listen to the flight attendant about the importance of knowing our exit doors in the case of emergency. I also believe this layout should be two classrooms, not one. I toured a school last month where they had a hybrid of two classrooms with a open flow. Then, had a designated center space connecting that would classify as the “watering hole”. It was great! Mindfulness and inclusivity for every learner is important. #inclusiveeducation

The physical design of a classroom can support #SocialEmotionalLearning with the use of mobile furniture that can be easily arranged for group work where students develop social awareness and work on relationship skills.
