1. CLASSROOM DESIGNTOPTIPS When researching modern classroom design there are so many options but then I saw a picture that stopped me in my tracks: It was the classroom of Michigan high school English teacher Rebecca Malmquist. It looked like a living room! A place you might call home, somewhere to curl up and read a book, take a nap, or have a really good conversation. And yet it was a classroom.

2. There are numerous tips and options to consider when designing a modern classroom. This article will take you through some top tips : Talk to your students. Your students are your best source of information as to what helps and hinders their learning in the classroom. Have your students audit their environment to help you see it from their perspective. This helps to engage the students so the feel included in their learning journey. Remove It is perfectly natural to accumulate ‘stuff’ over time, however there is likely to be many things that are unnecessary in the classroom that may be more of a distraction that assistance to learning.

This is helpful to determine how spacious the classroom would be. Spacing is a fundamental consideration in the current climate and helps to keep the class organised, and teachers can properly supervise every part of the class.

3. Arrangement. Flexible seating doesn’t have to mean new furniture – get creative with what you already have. Giving your students agency over where they sit fosters positive learning behaviours. Encourage Collaboration. The traditional desks in a row is fine if you just want to feed students information, however we now understand there is much more to be gained from engaging students in the learning process. When considering your classroom design create spaces that encourage communication and collaboration. Colours in the Classroom. Designing a learning space isn’t the same thing as decorating it. Sometimes it is tempting to design the classrooms with a wide range of colours, which can end up looking like a rainbow exploded. Though, based on scientific studies, colours aid in the process of learning. And different colours have a different effect on the brain. Colours such as green keep students relaxed, blue on the other hand is known to aid in increased productivity.

4. Create safe and quiet areas. With student wellbeing and mental health increasing in importance in many schools it is important to ensure that the classroom provides a safe and welcoming space. Many children are coming into school feeling overwhelmed and anxious. A really good learning environment first and foremost cares for children and takes care of the needs so that learning can take place.
