Flexible Learning Spaces

At Carlton Gardens we use flexible learning spaces in Grades 4-6. These spaces allow us to extend and support students within the same lesson, something that you can't do in a regular classroom. Teachers find it easier to target student’s individual learning needs, the flexible learning space allows them to have more small group sessions that focus on those needs. Flexible Learning Spaces encourage our students to become independent and helps prepare them for secondary school.

To see how a flexible learning space works and what our students and teachers thought about it, here is a video.
