When a child walks into a room, your child or anyone else's child, do your eyes light up? That’s what they are looking for.
-Toni Morrison
TheThirdTeacher+ has developed a series of flashcards built around the concept of "The Environment is the Third Teacher." Here are two of the 78 ideas from these cards:
Emulate museums: An environment rich in evocative objects — whether it's a classroom or a museum — triggers active learning by letting students pick what to engage with.
Design with words: What you say influences what you think and what you do. Use the term universal design, rather than accessible design, as a reminder of what it's all about: creating an environment for all learners.
The classroom environment is an essential component for maximizing learning experiences for young children. Inspiring Spaces for Young Children invites teachers to enhance children’s educational environments in a beautiful way by emphasizing aesthetic environmental qualities that are often overlooked in early childhood classrooms, such as nature, color, furnishings, textures, displays, lighting, and focal points.
