Pupil input to school design found wanting9 out of 10 teachers say learning environment affects pupil behaviourBy Lucy Rowe : 11 May 2009
Teacher Support Network have been quoted in a Times Educational Supplement article about the Building Schools for the Future programme. The article talks about a study by academics at Coventry, Leicester, Northampton and Keele universities that found “pupils and teachers were given little opportunity to shape rebuilds or refurbishments undertaken as part of the £55 billion programme”. Statistics cited from a Teacher Support Network and BCSE survey showed that “almost nine out of 10 teachers believe that the learning environment affects pupil behaviour; and almost one in three said the poor design of their schools affected their teaching.” If you would like to give evidence to the Great Schools Inquiry, please go to the BSCE website – www.bcse.uk.net/greatschoolsinquiry |
