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
