Rather, we are developing options to the traditional school. As to what they will look like, it is safe to say that virtually any future design concept exists today, in some form, somewhere on this earth. But it won't go until we get rid of the organizational structure as we know it today. Until we embrace differentiated or alternative staffing and organizational approaches we will be stuck in the box. But we all need an office, the ability to collaborate in teams, a lap top computer, a place to workout and a coffeepot.
Kids are no different.
Then there is the classroom, the 900 sq. foot box. Furniture will be come more flexible, moveable, comfortable and durable. Technology will be ever present. We'll be able to create individual, small group and total group spaces. We'll have the ability to collaborate with the box next door and other boxes within the same area of the building.
