A couple of weeks ago, my students emailed me a photo of an innovative classroom from Norva Nivel. "Mr. Jordan, why can't we learn like this?" they asked. It's a great question with a complicated answer. Students deserve classrooms where they can collaborate and create. A 21st-century classroom that values movement, independence, collaboration, and flexibility. Unfortunately, classrooms in New York City have been frozen in time since the late 19th century. 24"x18" desks, usually lined up in rows, facing the board. So, I charged my students with designing a new kind of classroom. Two weeks later, just before Valentines day, they gave me a sketch of their dream classroom...a sketch that blew me away. Not only did they create zones for brainstorming and conferencing, modular areas for collaborative group work, and nooks for independent reading - they created a place where the seemingly conflicting desires of movement and stillness, communalism and independecne, could all find a home. I am so proud of them and I hope you will consider helping them make this dream a reality.
