Transforming Learning Environments: The Third Teacher in Action

Learning environments are more than rooms — they are a powerful third teacher. The way space is designed influences children’s behaviour, emotional regulation, independence, and engagement. This workshop helps educators rethink their environments and make intentional changes that support richer learning, safer supervision, and calmer daily rhythms.

You’ll learn how to design spaces that invite curiosity, support autonomy, and communicate respect for children’s competence and identity. Whether indoors or outdoors, small changes can make a profound difference.

What You’ll Learn:
• Understand environments as “the third teacher”
• Improve room flow to support safety, calm, and supervision
• Reduce overstimulation and environmental stressors
• Use materials and layout intentionally to promote independence
• Create invitations that extend play and learning
• Reflect on what your environment communicates to children
• Make small, achievable changes with big impact

What’s Included:
• 2 hours live workshop
• Environment assessment tools
• Examples of high-impact room changes
• Reflection templates
• Certificate of Participation

Join us to transform your environment into a space that inspires, supports, and empowers children and educators.
