Children's Choices

As a class we discussed and viewed a variety of existing ways to set up the classroom, viewed a variety of international schools and classroom set ups, viewed clips of other educators and what they have developed and shared our own ideas and needs within the class.

It was interesting that the children were inspired by what other classrooms look like and what other people have done but the children’s choice came back to what they wanted not what other people had done. This was a turning point in our research as it made us listen and act more on what the children had to say not what other people had done.
