Positioning of students on the floor, seating arrangements in the classroom,\u00a0and the accessibility of learning materials are all dimensions of the environment. The use of all the\u00a0resources available within and around the school and wider community is key to engaging students.<\/p>\n<p>A key to the success of Thinking Schools Ethiopia is consideration of Structuring Environment with intentionality. When developing the &#8216;classroom environment&#8217; consideration is made to what best supports student learning.<\/p>\n<p><em>The three video clips below Thinking Schools Ethiopia educators and students engage in discussions and modeling of classroom structures.\u00a0How do the educators and students reflections compare with one another?<\/em><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t3xgvZTmjY0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VEuffLf83v8\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0GOHFMAA_1A\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Another key component of Structuring Environment is using materials around us to guide our learning which we&#8217;ll explore in a later blog posting.
