Designing Schools From the Inside Out (Future Schools)

EAN/UPC/ISBN Code 9781855397798


While traditional schools and traditional classes still have their place, there is so much that can be improved. Despite the funding available for rebuilding through the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme, there are still significant barriers to change. While many school leaders know, logically, that schools should be different from how they are at the moment, the risk of getting it wrong can appear overwhelming. Designing Schools From the Inside Out provides reassuring evidence — using pedagogical research, design solutions and case studies of successful projects — enabling those involved in delivering capital education projects to make bold decisions. Focusing particularly on interior teaching spaces, James Clark shows how a combination of classroom furniture and IT hold the key to truly enabling teachers to achieve transformation in teaching and learning, as learners come into personal contact with both. It is essential reading for anyone involved in large scale capital projects, including LEAs, school senior management teams, governors and BSF bidding teams.>
