Learning is no longer limited by conventional classroom layouts. From flexible environments that support different styles of methodology to creative use of color, configuration, and innovative tools, these traditional, transitional, and progressive education spaces are moving in exciting new directions.
It all begins with a fresh outlook and clever design. Let’s take a look at three key strategies that encourage an innovative approach to a comprehensive classroom.
Teaching at every level is vital to our communities. People are drawn to the profession because they know they can make a difference in their students’ lives. Most teachers are clear-eyed about the ups and downs of the job — it’s never been stress-free. Yet, as masterfully as most teachers handle it, stress is starting to drive them away.
Office Essentials has done its homework.
The St. Louis, MO-based business products and furniture company has specialized in equipping organizations with the supplies and furniture they need to operate and grow since 2001. But as learning environments everywhere began to shift and evolve, the company doubled down on its efforts to make K-12 learning spaces more effective for the students, teachers, administrators, and staff who depend on them.

After several of the most challenging years anyone alive has ever experienced, the possibility of a new “normal” now feels within reach. Perhaps no industry has been uprooted by COVID-19 like education, with virtual or socially distanced classrooms being implemented on a dime with little to no runway.
There was no playbook for what educators and students faced during the pandemic, but brighter days are ahead. The upcoming school year is ripe with excitement, catalyzed by the comfort of the way things used to be.
A new school year is like a new chapter in a book, building on the past and introducing what comes next. Each chapter brings new ideas as the characters grow. And more often than you may realize, it’s the students affecting the narrative.
Some students and educators start looking forward to the next school year almost as soon as the previous one ends. They miss their classmates, their colleagues, and one another.
Summer students aren’t the only ones cracking the books right now. Educators and administrators are reflecting on the last school year and making decisions for the one ahead.
