SCHOOLS MUST EVOLVE
The three R’s are still CRITICAL for each student to master . . . just to survive
•Reading
•Writing
•Arithmetic
BUT, the students that SUCCEED and
THRIVE are:
•Critical thinkers
•Nimble communicators
•Creative problem solvers
•Collaborators
•And most of all . . .
self-confident

GOOD VENTILATION & THERMAL COMFORT
The lack of proper ventilation can impair student
performance, both directly and indirectly. Discomfort
and distraction when they’re cold or hot also effects
learning.

•Raises test scores
•Reduces sick days

ACOUSTICS & COLOR
Opportunities are

NOISE
REDUCTION

FURNITURE, TECHNOLOGY &
CLASSROOM FUNCTION
Furniture has a direct impact on space goals
•Large group learning & peer-to-peer
•Use small number of standard components that can be
Sometimes informal is best
re-arranged in different formats
Sometimes nothing at all
•Mobile screening pieces
•More storage – less clutter
Technology has many applications
•Use a combination of informal wireless connectivity
with lab settings – students learn and study differently
