The Third Teacher

What’s the connection between the classroom environment and student learning? We chat with four faculty members who have reimagined their physical space to enhance students’ engagement and learning outcomes. Hear from second grade teacher, Megan Wallace, on flexible furniture, and Upper School English teacher, Sarah Martin, on how the Harkness table promotes listening and discussion. Technology teacher, Deanna George, speaks about the possibilities of clear plastic bins and the value of sunlight. And Ellyn Stewart drops some knowledge on biophilia! After listening, you might be inspired to make some changes to your own space!
