Purpose
To provide a flexible, daily instructional environment supporting full-class, small-group, and individual learning across all subjects.
Typical Activities
- Whole-class instruction using digital and physical presentation tools
- Small-group and partner work (frequent, curriculum-driven)
- Independent work and reading
- Student-led problem solving and collaboration using whiteboards
- Hands-on activities requiring open floor area
- Occasional reconfiguration for special events or project-based learning
Considerations
- Multiple whiteboards, ideally including:
- A full-wall magnetic whiteboard (highly desired)
- Additional smaller whiteboards on opposite walls
- Lower-mounted boards for younger students
- Digital instructional technology:
- Projector and screen (current standard)
- Future-ready infrastructure for interactive displays or mixed-reality tools
- Voice amplification system
- Movable desks and chairs to support flexible layouts
- Robust storage:
- Teaching wall with sliding whiteboards and built-in shelves
- Closed cabinets (preferred over open shelving)
- Vertical or flat files for anchor charts and oversized primary materials
- Lighting controls: dimmable LEDs (required under current Title 24)
- Backpack/cubby management:
- Elementary prefers exterior hooks or cubbies to reduce clutter
- Visual display surfaces for student work
- Large windows with blinds for both daylight and view
- Durable, easy-to-clean flooring depending on grade level
