Abstract: The evolution of today’s students and curriculum has rapidly changed over the last 2 decades, while K-12 learning environments have remained relatively unchanged in the last 20 years. We will identify the different learning styles of today’s students and teaching dilemmas. Then, incorporate these findings into K-12 classroom design with furniture, signage, graphics, and décor to impact student outcomes with well-being and comfort as key components of K-12 classroom design.
