Description

Based on the latest research about how children learn, this book helps elementary school teachers make their classrooms into creative spaces that facilitate teaching and learning. It also delves into specific areas of classroom design such as use of color and plants, room arrangement, learning centers, and the impact of clutter. With before and after photos of real classrooms, teachers can examine each area and determine their own classroom's need for improvement. Pamela Evanshen, PhD, holds a doctorate of education in educational leadership and policy analysis and is currently an associate professor and program coordinator for the early childhood education program in the human development and learning department at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee. Janet Faulk has years of experience teaching at the preschool, elementary, middle school, and college levels in both public and private institutions, and has worked as an educational diagnostician with students in pre-K through twelfth grade settings.
