Description:
This workshop is for teachers of all students including those with special needs. Are young children in your space distracted, unable to make choices, wandering around the room, fighting frequently, dumping materials in the floor, or just involved? Perhaps it is not the children or your teaching---but rather the classroom design. The classroom environment is a very powerful force that impacts children’s behaviors and learning every day. Learn about the renovations of real preschool, PreK, and Kindergarten classrooms and the amazing benefits these changes inspired in the learning of the children. See visuals of the “before”, follow the process, and hear the teacher's and children’s comments with the “after” pictures of their classrooms. Discover low cost, effective, and easy ways to transform your classroom so that you and the children have a wonderful place to live and grow. | COOP(s):
