Urban Preschool

This blog is a place to share research, experiences and inspirations around teaching and the world of Early Childhood Education (which I believe includes just about anything and everything creative).

Planning & Design

The Language of School Design: Design Patterns for 21st Century Schools, by Prakash Nair and Randall Fielding, "is a seminal work because it defines a new graphic vocabulary that synthesizes learning research with best practice in school planning and design. But it is more than a book about ideas. It is also a practical tool and a must-have resource for all school stakeholders involved in planning, designing and constructing new and renovated schools and evaluating the educational adequacy of existing school facilities."

To view excerpts from the book, reviews or order a copy - click on the links in the right hand column. I am going to pick up a copy while I am in the US later on this month. I have a few others on my list, which I will share with you soon.
