Teacher and Student Feedback
Some Teacher Comments - from the pilot schools
“I like to be able to separate the experiment area from the (written) work area”
“I prefer the whiteboards instead of the old blackboards”
“Practical areas are easy for the teacher and students to get around”
“Students are closer together which means I don’t need to raise my voice. Students are quieter now”
“I like to break the lessons up and separate the practical work from the written work. Especially during double periods”
"These learning spaces (type 2) are perfect for physics as we don't need gas and water. We have plenty of power points, internet access and space."
“If a student is doing something hazardous or silly, I can quickly isolate them within the learning area and still keep an eye on them”
“Students are less likely to fiddle with water and gas taps during a lesson: they work at the work spaces”
“Wouldn’t go back to the old style”.
“A huge improvement” - head cleaner
Some Student Comments - from the pilot schools
"It's more organised. There is not as much chaos."
"I prefer the class area separated, as my books don't get wet and don't get in the way of experiments."
