VANtasy Classrooms

What happens when you ask Vanguard Fellows to design their fantasy classroom? A VANtasy is born!

In the summer before the 2016-17 school year, we asked our Vanguard Fellows to dream big and submit a proposal to redesign their classroom. We quickly realized that we couldn't magically grant their VANtasies, and would need to iterate our process.

Using the design thinking process, we annually ask a group of our Vanguard Fellows to create a pocket of innovation in their classroom to pilot flexible seating options. This will allows teachers to test furniture that meets safety and durability guidelines, and to create and test ideas to identify those that can and should be scaled. Join us on this journey as Vanguard fellows continually re-design classrooms to best meet the learning needs of their students!
