Ideas for Your Environment

When a child walks into a room, your child or anyone else's child, do your eyes light up? That’s what they are looking for.
Toni Morrison

TheThirdTeacher+ has developed a series of flashcards built around the concept of "The Environment is the Third Teacher."  Here are two of the 78 ideas from these cards:

Emulate museums:  An environment rich in evocative objects — whether it's a classroom or a museum — triggers active learning by letting students pick what to engage with.

Design with words:  What you say influences what you think and what you do.  Use the term universal design, rather than accessible design, as a reminder of what it's all about: creating an environment for all learners.
