I appreciate that my classroom/multipurpose room is professionally decorated in greenish grey and olive greens, but if I could paint the walls, these are the colors they would be; 2 blue walls, 1 soft yellow wall and 1 white board painted wall.

# data[].attributes.body
The interactive walls would provide 2 functions:

1. Serve as interactive displays - like at the Science Center. Displays would rotate on a weekly basis. Participants could suggest/provide displays.

2. Offer fun, collaborative problem solving "games".

Green Dot Student Bystander Training
Green dots can be PROACTIVE or REACTIVE.

Proactive Green Dots: Little things you do to make it less likely that violence, or a red dot, will ever happen. This could include you having a conversation with a friend about your stance against violence, wearing green dot gear, or posting an update on social media that violence is not acceptable in the Cyclone community.

Reactive Green Dots: The choices you make in response to a situation that you think could be harmful to another or might eventually lead to something harmful. This could include you stepping in when you notice something not quite right in the student neighborhood, walking a friend home when they've had too much to drink to be sure they make it home safely, or telling a friend to back off when you know the other person is not interested.

Reactive green dots come in the form of the 3D's: Direct, Distract, and Delegate. A direct green dot occurs when you handle the situation with confrontation. Distracting is changing the conversation and the energy of the interaction by distracting them with something else (dancing, a problem, food, bathroom break, etc). Delegating is finding someone else who you feel will be more successful in fixing the problem (bar tender, other friends, Public Safety, etc).

Purchase table tents to allow students to share their unique identity.

Notice we just got video boards on the wall which aid in smaller group interactions. Tables would be moved to accommodate small group work. We do have counters (in back of photo) with coffee pot and sink on which to set out food & drinks.

Ideal Space - A Variety of Learning Spaces

# data[].attributes.body
My ideal learning space (classroom) would make it comfortable for participants to interact, reflect, live, breath, enjoy, learn, teach, investigate, be curious, and ask questions. It would be well lit and well ventilated. Carpet on the floor would help cut down on noise during activities. WiFi, electrical, and USB stations are readily available.
The modular furniture can be moved and designed into one of the *Seating Re-Design options (shown on another board) for large group classes.
Spaces would include:

Breakout space

Small group project work

Refreshment area

Writable surfaces for collaboration and reflection

Social space

Interactive Wall (see related board)

Q:  If you could make a recommendation to teachers about designing classrooms to be more inclusive, what would it be?

A: I still believe that having  a variety of learning spaces within a contained room is a good idea. I think this can allow different learning styles to be accommodated at the same time.  I want students to see their teacher as being “jazzed” about their time together.

Mix up the seating configurations more often to better allow for student movement, engagement, presentations, listening, and talking.
