I've bought a lot of different kinds of seating & tables to make a flexible space in my classroom. I got permission to have all but 6 desks removed.

We have organized our library by the Transdisciplinary Themes.

We have the flex schedule, but need additional staffing! Our Learning Commons does not function as effectively as it could.

Our school created a design lab. Students learn how to use a variety of tools and low tech maker materials to use for prototyping and designing components that often relate to IB units.

Mackintosh Academy  - Brandy Modular furniture is the best. We use this in our middle school and it's been a great way to shape and reshape spaces.

I raised some of our desks as high as they could go so kids could stand while working.  I also lowered some desks as low as they would go so kids could either sit on a pillow or their knees OR sit on the tops of the desks like benches.

In need of more storage space for makerspace materials...and OUTLETS! :)

AIES needs help with scheduling ideas. The librarian and DLC are in a fixed schedule. If we are pulled out of it, teachers lose plan time.

We have been able to stock our low-tech makerspace with community donations. Great community buy-in!

Love the idea of having almost everything on wheels. I am also looking to go full flex seating in my classroom next year, and I would try to incorporate this type of mobility in the classroom, too.

Our library has an Inquiry table full of low-tech toys for kids to use when our classes visit the library to check out books each week.

# data[].attributes.body
We have the same issue as AIES--trying to figure out scheduling concerns. And, how to roll out with staff

# data[].attributes.body
We added an innovation specialist position to take the librarian out of the specials rotation.  That allows her to teach collaboratively and support units. The teachers and students were taught how to check out their own books.

Our creative arts, pe and librarian have one day a week to push in to classrooms to co-teach and support the units of inquiry.

My brain is going too fast! I love all of the to make student inquiries more meaninful.

We've been doing a few lessons like this with students....

This way the class can go at the pace their comfortable with, and I can help more kids during instruction!

After we had done this a few times, Christopher, a 5th grader, asked if he could do this to help his classmates!
