Design a floorplan for an educational setting

Design a floorplan for an educational setting and write a paper to explain the expected impact of your design on behavior and the temporal environment. You will need to consider the following: How does the educational setting decrease inappropriate behavior? How do the design, materials, and storage determine the level of productivity and comfort of the children present? Are there areas that have a dual purpose? When considering options for area placement, do children have enough space? What will be the expected noise level based on the activities in each area? Will one area be distracting to another? What are the health and safety concerns? Are there special considerations for children with special needs? Step One: Create the Design of the Physical Environment Choose an age group: Toddlers, Preschoolers, OR Multi-age. Use a website like the , PowerPoint, or another application to design your floorplan. Alternatively, you may simply draw a clear design on paper. If you choose to draw your design, you will need to provide a photo. **Very Important: You must design the floorplan yourself. You cannot simply copy and paste an image from Google and use it as your own. I will be sure to double-check this using Google image search so please do not do this. The website link provided allows you to design a floorplan for free. Include the following Areas: Cubbies for personal belongings Art Puzzles Dramatic Play Blocks Reading Sand/Water Manipulatives Area for eating Area for large group learning A Calming Center Include all furniture needed in each center (tables, chairs, sink, and storage shelves). Be sure each area is a well-defined space. Step 2: Justify Your Choices In 1-2 full pages in a Word document, provide the rationale for your design using two resources. Explain: The importance of the physical environment How DAP, child development knowledge, and PILES impacts the arrangement of the educational setting The reasoning behind the placement of centers and activity areas The influence of the temporal environment on your design How the arrangement decreases inappropriate behavior Incorporate at least two credible sources published within the last 5 years to support your insights and opinions.
