Classroom space impacts everything: instruction, behavior, and our (students’ and teachers’) sense of well-being. How can we be strategic in how we plan for whole group and small group instruction, a classroom library, literacy workstations, and effective use of wall space? Join Jodi and Jane as they’ve learned from Debbie Diller how instructional time can be enhanced by thoughtful organization, where every inch of classroom space is a place where students and literacy can blossom.
