    A6: Large rooms w/ natural light. Restrooms in the classroom. Storage! Common learning spaces/nooks throughout the school. #ADEchat
  • Glynn_ed Oct 10 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    Yes!! I think learning spaces need to include the outside on a regular basis...#adechat

    Some things just need to be taught explicitly. Sometimes these are the things that Ss wouldn’t choose but are vitally necessary #ADEChat

    Thanks everyone! Trying to get #adechat on my calendar every week!

    One of my favorite elements is color. Options seem to be a fav of the kids. Committees full of stakeholders are a great start #adechat
