Materials Exploration: Explore collage, loose parts, wire, clay, and other materials as languages of expression while transforming classrooms into studios that nurture risk-taking, discovery, and connection.
Classroom Environment: Design classrooms that celebrate identity, foster connection, and ignite imagination through intentional organization and thoughtful design.
