Product Description

For educators, working and teaching in a harmonious classroom environment not only makes sense, it can improve the quality and meaningfulness of their instruction. Feng Shui for the Classroom translates ancient Chinese interior decoration concepts to the school, providing teachers with strategies and suggestions for improving harmony and positive energy in their classrooms. The text gives suggestions for arranging the ideal classroom in such a way that the chi, or energy, can move freely. Key features of the ideal classroom are minimal clutter, many plants, calming sounds, and mobiles for movement. A room map, called a bagua, dictates the placement of color, furniture, and learning centers in the classroom. Feng Shui for the Classroom is appropriate for teachers of all grade levels who want to transform an impossible classroom arrangement into a focused learning environment.

Customer Reviews

Good ideas, but do they work?3
I bought this book mainly for ideas on what to do with my classroom. But, I still keep wondering if they could work. As an educator and, first, a scholar, I can't help but give this whole Feng Shui a healthy bit of skepticism. What ever happened to basic design principles?

More Classroom Organization than Shui4
I read the reviews that pointed out that this book was focused on organization rather than true Feng Shui but I purchased it anyway. It gave me some great ideas about organizing my room next year. Some ideas I will use, and some are out of the question. A great read, but borrow this one from the library.

A Joy for Classroom and Home!5
I ordered this book for my future classroom and also shared it with my children's current teachers. Not only did they find it helpful for their classrooms, I was able to take many of the elements and apply them to my three children's rooms at home. Mrs. Heiss has written a book that I will read over and over again and will take with me to every classroom that I work in. A JOY to read.
