Flexible Learning Environments in Lauries Primary

In contemporary education, flexible learning environments are becoming increasingly popular. These environments are designed to cater to the diverse needs of students, fostering both academic and social development.

In the Lauries Primary School, classes are combined and managed by two co-teachers. This co-teaching model allows for a more dynamic and supportive learning environment. One teacher can focus on instruction while the other provides additional support, ensuring that all students receive the attention they need.

The physical layout of these classrooms is designed to be flexible, accommodating various types of lessons and activities. This flexibility allows for individual work, group projects and whole-class instruction. For instance, desks and chairs can be rearranged to create different learning zones, catering for different learning styles and preferences and making the learning experience more engaging and effective.

One of the significant benefits of a Lauries Primary classroom is the opportunity for students to form and develop friendships across a wider range of peers. With the double class structure, students interact with a larger group of classmates, which can enhance their social skills and broaden their social circles.
