Let's Get Rid of "The Teacher Shrine": Organizing Meeting Areas, Walls, and Materials (VIDEO)
The Sisters (Gail Boushey and Joan Moser)
In this six-minute classroom tour from the introduction to Simply Beautiful, Gail Boushey and Joan Moser ("The Sisters") talk about problems with teacher desks, present how they separate and define different curricular
learning areas, and explain how they use borders to enhance displays on walls.
This video includes the beginning of the model classroom room tour from Simply Beautiful: Classroom Design for Gracious Living and Learning, a sixty minute DVD designed for use in workshop settings. Classrooms don't have to be dank and dreary places - in fact, teachers are discovering that more inviting classrooms create more opportunities for learning.
In Simply Beautiful, Gail and Joan visit the classrooms of five new teachers to help each one deal with specific design challenges that include:
- redesigning poor lighting in the meeting area;
- displaying student work creatively;
- reorganizing materials for easy access;
- sorting through accumulated materials in a cramped storage area; and
- dressing up plain walls on a budget.
Each makeover takes less than 30 minutes in real-time, with minimal expense. Inspiring and fun, Simply Beautiful will have you itching to roll up your sleeves and start transforming your own classroom in no time.
