Flexible Learning Spaces

What are flexible learning spaces?

Classrooms and schools designed with flexible learning spaces enable students to have a choice in where and how they learn. This can mean something as simple as students having the freedom to rearrange existing furniture to meet their learning needs. It can include a variety of learning environments in a classroom, from rug space to couches to beanbags to tents to collaboration zones. It can include flexible spaces school-wide including quiet rooms and makerspaces and small group and large collaboration spaces.
