[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No classroom partitions?? What the what? I cannot stay focused in an open concept office. Unsure how they would expect children to do that [/quote] I went to one of the “open concept” schools in Arlington. We had partitions but not rooms. Each grade has a section of the school, and each individual classroom had a thick barrier/partition thingy to separate the individual classrooms. Outside these rooms was a big open space that different set ups depending on what we were doing. like 2nd grade had 3 classes and when you where in your classroom you could sometimes hear the class next to you but it wasn’t super distracting or anything. Often all the 2nd graders would meet in the big open flexible space outside the classroom for grade level activities, or we would use that space for special lessons. Mostly that space was used for storage and all the classes shared classroom resources from that shared space. We also starting in 3rd went to different classes within the groups for leveled math and reading instruction.(there was an advanced grouping, a middle of the road grouping and a grouping that needed extra support in reading or math. Not sure if that approach was any better or worse than what ATS is but it wasn’t like a huge free for all. [/quote]
