Furniture Selection Criteria
Considerations
» Should all general classrooms have the same “kit of parts”? » What level of student choice is appropriate?
– Are there multiple types of seating in each room? Just one with additional
- ption(s) for breakout/group?
» How will we accommodate differing student needs?
– Physical: height differences, accessibility, etc. – Learning Styles – Flexibility/mobility
» What role does 1:1 technology play in furniture selection? » How can furniture support curriculum?
– STEM / STEAM, Flipped Classroom, etc…
» Different teaching styles » Flexibility for future
– The more specialized furniture is, the less flexible it becomes for changes in subject matter, curriculum, etc.
