Excerpt from The Skillful Teacher (2008):

    "Architects, interior decorators, and environmental engineers believe that the way things are arranged in space (including the space itself) makes a difference in how people function. These professionals make their living helping people to be happier and to function more efficiently through better use of the physical environment. Schools need to apply their insights to education for similar payoffs: increased satisfaction and productivity.

    "This section explores ways in which teachers can make the most advantageous use of classroom and school space."
