CESA EARLY CHILDHOOD NETWORK 2014 

Environments for Learning 

‘I urge you to think of the environment not as a shell but as a skin – how then does it change with those in it?  How is it nourished?’

Carla Rinaldi p. 28  Re-Imagining Childhood report 2013
 

• The focus of this network meeting is indoor classroom environments.

• What does environment mean?

• What’s the purpose of changing environments, why is there such a buzz?

• What are the possibilities and challenges to creating spaces for learning?

• How can classroom environments be places of research?

Participants are invited, if they would like, to bring two photos of their current classroom environment to share.
