Description
An effective learning environment involves more than the physical environment. The way the physical classroom looks is essential. However, it is only one part of the total environment. The interpersonal, curriculum and philosophical pieces are often overlooked but are critical to creating an effective learning environment. In this workshop, we discuss how to bring all four components together. We discuss different classroom setups, placement of materials, and age-appropriate items, and recommend ways of interacting with the children. This workshop discusses how to create an interesting, inviting, and engaging hands-on curriculum. Together we create empowerment, strength-based, and beautiful environments for the children and teachers.
