I think it is time to discuss students, staff and parents like they are more than a brain in a jar and a dominant writing hand.
That's why I wrote two books. I'd love for you to read them.

Head of School @mattpitman.com.au says flexibility is the key.
“When tables stay the same all day, every day, so too can the learning,” says Pitman. “A static room can send the message that learning is linear and predictable, when in fact it is dynamic and evolving.”

This is for teachers ready to start building genuine, lasting connection in their schools, even when leadership isn’t quite there yet. It’s about showing that meaningful culture change doesn’t have to start at the top.

After years of teaching, @mattpitman.com.au had a revelation: No single classroom layout fits every lesson.
Instead, his tables and chairs are “constantly on the move" to create the best configuration for “the learning at that moment.”

This is a tough situation, and @mattpitman.com.au has good ideas for how teachers can get their class moving in a positive direction again. It's not a quick fix, but this is advice I'd want if I were still teaching.
