are desirable
• What will be required from the learning
spaces

Summary
• Anything is possible, be brave and plan for your learners
needs
• Consider appropriate locations for different activities
• Consider acoustics carefully and plan for noisy and quiet
activities
• Create strong connections to the outdoor learning
environment
• Furniture should be exciting and used to separate areas
• Learning spaces can be changed using movable furniture
• ICT should support the learner needs and go beyond PCs
• Justify your choices in terms of learner needs and outcomes
