Classroom Insights
When classrooms are designed for participative, active and engaged learning, they offer experiences that help students and educators function at their best—cognitively, physically and emotionally.
These classrooms support:
- Person-to-person and hybrid connections
- Easy interactions
- A variety of teaching methods
In the hybrid era, students are more engaged than ever in what and how they learn. As a result, more educators are seeking to create experiences that engage students through discussions, problem solving, group projects and other methods. Classrooms must offer a great variety of settings and resources to support all the different ways learning happens today.
