Too many public schools look and feel like prisons, designed out of fear of vandalism and truancy. But we know that nurturing environments are better for learning. Research consistently shows that access to nature, big classroom windows, and open campuses reduce stress, anxiety, disorderly conduct, and crime, and improve academic performance. But too few school designers and decision-makers apply this research to create healthy schools. \u003ci\u003eSchools That Heal \u003c\/i\u003edetails the myriad opportunities-from furniture to classroom improvements to whole campus renovations-to make supportive learning environments for our children and teenagers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSchools around the world have been designed to support students' health. A Japanese community decimated by a tsunami has incorporated water elements into the school campus to reconnect students to nature in a supportive way and promote environmental stewardship. Sandy Hook Elementary, creating a completely redesigned campus in the wake of a school shooting, began with an inclusive design process to ensure the new school could be a place of healing and learning. And while the larger mental and physical impacts of how COVID-19 has changed schooling aren't known yet, Latane discusses how building elements like large windows-that can open to circulate fresh air-were once common in schools and could once again be useful as a cost-effective tactic for reducing virus exposure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBacked by decades of research, \u003ci\u003eSchools That Heal \u003c\/i\u003eshowcases clear and compelling ways to create schools that support students' mental healt","brand":"ALLIANCE DIST - SF","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41860220190853,"sku":"PR435089","price":85.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.com.au\/products\/schools-that-heal","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
