Inside and Outside Learning Environment Design

Using the UWA Campus School P-K classroom and outside play area as a model, write a paper that includes a description, assessment, and justification (4 pages, APA style) of the design and arrangement.

1. Draw a sketch of Ms. Angelia’s P-K classroom and the UWA Campus School playground.
2. Properly label centers and storage and all important areas inside and outside.
3. Describe how the P-K classroom is aligned with the Alabama P-K Guidelines. Are all learning areas included? Has she combined any of them? Are the traffic patterns working? How do the centers support developmentally appropriate practices in guiding children’s learning and behavior?
4. Describe how the P-K playground is aligned with the Alabama P-K Guidelines. Are all areas of play included? What’s missing? Are pieces of equipment and the environment well maintained and safe for use? Are the traffic patterns working? How does the design of the playground support developmentally appropriate practices in guiding children’s learning and behavior?
