Teachers Imagine the C3 Classroom

When Inquiring Minds asked teachers to envision the physical C3 classroom they told us:

  • I don’t see desks

  • Computers surrounded by kids some standing, some on high stools on the periphery of the room

  • Smart-boards in use

  • Little pods around the room, students standing or sitting

  • Lots of print resources displayed in interesting ways on the walls

  • Groups of students sitting on pillows, leaning in, engaged in discussion

  • Huddled groups, conducting research

  • A group of excited kids talking with me about a discovery they’ve made

  • Lots of activity

  • A hum of excitement (not quiet, but not noisy)

  • Student anchor charts hanging on the walls to help kids to start conversations

  • Models and examples of thoughtful, reflective student work in plain view
