Environments are a complex interaction of physical elements, including sensory components, design and organization, aesthetics, nurturing attributes, and pedagogical resources. Research shows these elements can work together to improve early learning, self-efficacy and higher-order thinking skills. Pamela Evanshen, EdD and Janet Faulk, EdD, have developed an environmental rating scaleAssessing the Pillars of the Physical Environment for Academic Learning (APPEAL)to help educational professionals evaluate and improve the design and use of elementary learning environments. Transform learning spaces from teacher-centered classrooms where creativity and collaboration are stifled to student-centered, developmentally appropriate learning communities where children thrive. The APPEAL rating scale is a valid and reliable assessment that quantifies six environmental domains: Meaningful Learning:occurs in a healthy, welcoming, and inviting classroomSocial Learning:encourages positive learning interactions through room arrangement and seating choicesPurposeful Learning:facilitates discover and active engagement through learning centers and stations, personal spaces for children, and teacher spaceResponsible Learning:encourages children to take ownership of their learning, be accountable for their effort, and work together to accomplish learning goalsContinuous Learning:showcases childrens understandings of core content knowledgeInquiry-Based Learning:project-based learning and collaborative problem solving supported by rich resourcesRoom to Learn: Elementary Classrooms Designed for Interactive Explorationswill help elementary educators completely reinvent their spaces to achieve the best child outcomes.
