Design Your Dream School

Get out some paper and start imagining the school of your dreams. Design it on paper, draw it, or write a list of its most important qualities—whatever you prefer. Now ask yourself the question: Could any of these things happen in my real school? What’s one idea that could improve something at your school—whether it’s the physical space, your schedule, or how students and teachers interact (just to name a few things!)?
