Creating a Welcoming and Intellectually Challenging Classroom

Teachers, look at your classroom through the eyes of your students. Does the layout of your classroom create a stimulating environment, one that promotes learning, creativity, serendipity and collegiality? Two experienced educators provide advice on classroom layout, and suggest practical techniques to promote student collaboration and teamwork. In addition, the educators outline how students can benefit by taking responsibility for their conduct and learning. Teachers are offered advice on how to embrace diversity as a resource, and to foster a culture of inclusion in the classroom. Make your classroom a destination that is inviting, safe, stimulating and memorable!
