"My room is really, really warm. We open up to
the playground so opening up the window isn’t always the
greatest of options, because it might get your room cooler, but
it also
brings in more noise, and that certainly does affects the kids
and their behavior and how much learning can go in in the
classroom."

If you could improve your
child's learning experience through improvements in the
built environment...would you?
Research shows, indoor
environmental quality reduces errors, improves work and
promotes learning.
"...air quality and
temperatures in
classrooms are important
factors in the learning
process and improving
them should be given as
much priority as
improving teaching
materials and methods."
