MIG, Inc. 1413.pdf (Objet application/pdf) DEAFSPACE DESIGN GUIDELINES : hbhm architecture. DEAFSPACE Deaf people inhabit a rich sensory world where vision and touch are a primary means of spatial awareness and orientation.
Many use sign language, a visual-kinetic mode of communication and maintain a strong cultural identity built around these sensibilities and shared life experiences. Our built environment, largely constructed by and for hearing individuals, presents a variety of surprising challenges for deaf people. Recently, deaf people have responded to these designs with their own particular way of altering their surroundings to fit their unique ways-of-being. This approach is often referred to as DeafSpace. . When deaf people congregate the group customarily works together to rearrange furnishings into a “conversation circle” to allow clear sightlines so everyone can participate in the visual conversation.

7 Must-Read Books on Education. Education is something we’re deeply passionate about, but the fact remains that today’s dominant formal education model is a broken system based on antiquated paradigms.
While much has been said and written about education reform over the past couple of years, the issue and the public discourse around it are hardly new phenomena. Today, we round up the most compelling and visionary reading on reinventing education from the past century. Habits and Habitats: Introducing the IDEA. Orion Academy - Asperger's NLD High School.

By Adam Brock The phrase “sustainable design” is often associated with things like bioplastic, solar-powered flashlights, or cradle-to-cradle office furniture.
While these and other innovations continue to push the green design envelope, even the most forward-thinking ecoproducts can’t honestly be called sustainable quite yet: they’re still nowhere close to eliminating their negative impact on the planet.

The Natural Environment for Children’s Self-Education: How The Sudbury Valley School is Like a Hunter-Gatherer Band. A major theme of this blog is that we come into the world with instincts that are well designed to promote our education . We have instincts to observe, explore, play, and converse with others in ways that endow us with the skills, knowledge, and values needed to live and thrive in the physical and social world into which we are born. We do this with great intensity and joy. These educational instincts were shaped by natural selection during the hundreds of thousands of years in which our ancestors survived as hunter-gatherers (see August 2 posting ).
Article : Natural Environment Elevates the Learning Experience. School facilities are evolving from traditional indoor learning spaces to multiple-dimensional spaces that use the entire campus as a learning environment. During our school planning work sessions and design charrettes with students, the message they consistently convey to our designers is the desire to freely move outdoors during the day. It is clear that access to outdoor spaces enhances the overall educational and social experience. Studies by the American Institutes for Research and the Council for Educational Facility Planners International indicate students’ overall health and test scores can benefit from outdoor activity.
Creating Play Environments For Children With Special Needs. Educators are gradually acknowledging the appropriateness of children's play as a natural avenue for learning, social experiences and emotional enrichment (Dempsey & Frost, 1993). They are increasingly aware of play's benefits (Elkind, 1988) due to a growing body of literature related to the design of play environments (Frost, 1992; Olds, 1989). Unfortunately, educators remain uninformed about one key aspect of play environment design--the safe inclusion of children with special needs. In order to include all children, we must move quickly to determine how caregivers and educators can increase safety in play environments.
We must also establish who is responsible for monitoring and ensuring the safety of play environments in integrated settings. To ignore these questions could be dangerous. Consider an incident that recently occurred in an elementary school with a population including children with special needs. Inclusion Defined. Travels Around the Playground, by JC Boushh, CPSI.

SNOW - Teaching Strategies. Classroom management. Classroom management is a term used by teachers to describe the process of ensuring that classroom lessons run smoothly despite disruptive behavior by students. The term also implies the prevention of disruptive behavior. It is possibly the most difficult aspect of teaching for many teachers; indeed experiencing problems in this area causes some to leave teaching altogether. In 1981 the US National Educational Association reported that 36% of teachers said they would probably not go into teaching if they had to decide again. A major reason was "negative student attitudes and discipline".[1] Pond Meadow Special Needs School, Building, Pond Meadow School, DSDHA.
