Teachers at Design 39 Campus were inspired to adopt this practice by the research paper " Building Thinking Classrooms," by Peter Liljedahl, professor at Simon Fraser University.

Vertical learning-a framework for high quality group work-showcases student thinking for everyone to see.

When students are working in randomly assigned groups, they are more engaged in the task and in discussions with each other. When they are standing, they are also more likely to engage with other groups nearby to discuss ideas.

How often do you witness a student not wanting to share what their thoughts are? Vertical learning encourages students to share their understanding with their peers. They have to collaborate what goes on the white board, so everyone is involved.

Students work through a problem or question visually. They collaborate, discuss, formulate answers, question, and revise until they have come to a conclusion.

Here’s what teachers have said who tried vertical learning:

“I will never go back to just having students work in their desks.
“How do I get more whiteboards?”

“The kids love it – especially when they use the windows.”

“I had one girl come up and ask when it will be her turn on the windows.”

“My grade levels colleagues are starting to do it.”
