4. All school facilities under one roof - When all schools, elementary, middle, and high school,
are housed under one roof, it fosters cooperation among all divisions. Though many schools
have each in a distinct facility, the advantages of having them all in one place are numerous.
The following are some of the benefits of having all sections under one roof: Students and
teachers can quickly use instructional and support facilities that are not affected by weather,
temperature, air quality, or distance. A single, massive, centrally managed system can deliver
clean air and a heating/cooling system more efficiently. Students of all grade levels and ages
interact and encourage one another on a regular basis. Siblings are permitted to live in the same
building.
5. Spaces tailored to different ages of student - Early on, there is widespread agreement in the
field of education that young children require significant socializing and play-based learning to

motivate curiosity. As children grow older and prepare for university, students must be exposed
to a variety of environments. comparable to those they will encounter in post-secondary school
in order to reduce culture shock. Students, regardless of age, require independence and a choice
in how they learn. And school facilities must be designed in such a way that education may be
tailored to the demands of each age group.
6. Facilities built and adapted in response to curriculum development - The twenty-first
century is characterized by change and confusion, and schools must identify information their
curriculum, learning approaches, and facilities to ensure that they are up to date. are prepared to
respond to these changes and teach pupils the required skill sets to flourish in tomorrow's
society. To better meet the programming objectives, programs at dynamic schools like ISB
require carefully built, flexible environments. ISB has frequently undertaken FMP design and
review processes to collect and help prioritize these prospective projects in order to decide what
facility additions and upgrades are required.
How do teachers ensure a positive classroom/school atmosphere considering the nature and attributes of the
learners.
Keep in mind that students, like adults, have important psychological needs for security and
order, love and belonging, personal power and competence, freedom and novelty, and fun.
Students are motivated to meet all of these needs at all times, not just two or three. When
teachers address these needs intentionally in the classroom, students are happier to be present,
student engagement and learning improve, and behavior incidents become far less common. As
each student enters your classroom, greet them at the door. Explain that you want students to
make eye contact with you, greet you verbally, and give you a high five, fist bump, or
handshake, depending on their age. As a result, every student had at least one positive human
contact that day. It also demonstrates to students that you value them as individuals. If a student
was disruptive or uncooperative the day before, check in, explain your "every day is a clean
slate" philosophy, and express optimism for that class ("Let's have a great day today").
Students enter the classroom with preconceived notions about teachers. It can be beneficial at
times, but it can also be detrimental. I wanted my students to see me as a trustworthy, three-
dimensional human being, rather than the two-dimensional image of a "English teacher" they
might already have. I would give students a quiz about me during the first week of school
because the only way to change people's perceptions is to provide them with new information
or new experiences. I'd have them take out a piece of paper, number it from 1 to 10, and answer
questions about me. Questions like, "Do I have any children of my own?" Where did I spend
my childhood? What is it that I value?
