Feng Shui for the Classroom -- For
educators, working and teaching in a harmonious classroom environment not
only makes sense, it can improve the quality and meaningfulness of
instruction. Feng Shui for the Classroom translates ancient Chinese
interior design concepts for use in educational settings, providing
strategies and suggestions for improving harmony and positive energy. The
text gives suggestions for arranging the ideal classroom in such a way
that the chi, or energy, can move freely. Key features of the ideal
classroom are minimal clutter, many plants, calming sounds, and mobiles
for movement. A room map, called a bagua, dictates the placement of color,
furniture, and learning centers in the classroom. Feng Shui for the
Classroom is appropriate for teachers of all grade levels who want to
transform an impossible classroom arrangement into a focused learning
environment. |
