The design of a classroom is critical to a student’s learning. When looking at classroom design educators should pay attention to the space. The space of the classroom should be appealing to the students/ the learning centers should have appealing aspects as well. Many times, when the learning spaces amplify aesthetic vibes, it can assist with brain function in many students. The teacher should think about how desks and chairs are set up in the classroom, make sure students have room to move around if need be. Now let’s move on to furniture, teachers should have items that are comfy and age-appropriate (i.e., small couches, rugs, bean bags, etc.). When students walk into their classroom you want to capture their attention, this can be done by making the walls appealing to the eye. Displaying academic posters, students’ work, motivational quotes, anchor charts, etc. offers children something to look at while in the class. The more colorful a classroom is, the better! Students love color and enjoy having nice things to look at that will put them in a happy place. It’s always good to remember that sometimes less is more so when decorating walls in the class minimize the clutter. During the day instead of having the lights on allow natural light to peek into the classroom. So, to all my educators out there the next time you walk into your classroom I want you to stop and ask yourself “Is my classroom appealing to the eye?” and based on your answer that will let you know if you need a classroom makeover or not.
