Building a classroom culture has been a critical factor of my professional experience. The more comfortable students are, the more likely they are to participate. The better they can see, the more knowledge they attain. The freer they feel, the better work they produce.
Environment matters. Period.

Student Testimonies
“Being able to move the desks, shift around, work with my peers, and being able to engage in discussions, was something I needed. The usual formality and distance between teacher and other students were erased. For once, we all stood as equals who wanted to learn not just more about the topic at hand, but the world. Being able to share and gather information in such a comfortable and casual setting was something completely unfamiliar to me but was exactly what I needed.”

“[A Flexible Learning] space will reflect positive outcomes to student’s overall learning, focus, and comfort level.”
