What Makes a Classroom Feel Like a Place of Its Own?
What can a kindergarten learn from a dwelling house? After visiting kindergartens in Singapore, I consider how familiar routines, shared spaces and small choices can help children feel they belong.
What Should Change in the Way We Teach?
A more flexible classroom changes what teachers and children can do. Drawing on recent kindergarten visits in Singapore, I ask which changes are worth making and which everyday practices are worth keeping.
Designing through User Engagement
How can a school and its architect agree on how learning spaces should work before design begins? At the International French School kindergarten in Singapore, we explored that question with teachers, children and school leaders.
