Teachers Re-Imagine their Public School: Evidence Supporting Innovations in K-12 Facility Design
Teachers indicated enthusiasm for re-organizing a school into physical Communities of Practice where teachers could be given private workstations, collaboration tables, conferencing facilities, refreshments, direct access to the outdoors and resource storage in communal “hives”, the objective being a stronger sense of community, more opportunities for collaboration and mentoring, and a more powerful process of identity-building.
