The Top 5 - "take aways" from this Inspriation phase......
1. Classroom observations.........Wow! Looking at our classroom from a different perspective - as 'teacher', as a 'tool' for engaging students and bringing curriculum to them as individuals. I thought that I had a good grasp of what my students needed in terms of structure and comfort, of sensory needs, movement and accessibility - I was missing the boat in many areas!
2. Furniture visit....... Talking about 'you don't know what you don't know' takes on a whole new meaning! The options, choices, movement, adaptability, color, texture, style......My mind is blown......
3. Designer Presentations - my mind has changed so many times - for so many reasons.
4. Student Furniture visit - This was the BEST experience so far! My students struggle to share their thoughts and feelings and to explain the 'why'. To see them actually be able to physically interact and react to the furniture pieces and also to have my staff share their experiences and desires, ideas, plans, wishes, dreams......amazing!!
5. Matchy-matchy isn't always the only way to go:)
