This
is the overall design and layout of the space in which children learn. A well
designed space is organized, comfortable and personable, providing a sense of
belonging and well-being. It should take into consideration furniture, floor
coverings such as play mats, walls and room dividers and perhaps even built in
technologies.
Furniture should reflect the size, physical abilities, and needs
of children who will be using them, with a mix of standard backed chairs,
adjustable height furniture for different age groups, soft seating options like
beanbags and floor seating options.
Active learning spaces should also be
considered to offer a variety of ways to meet different learning needs, from
one on one to independent, small group activities to whole class sessions.
