A growing body of research demonstrates strong connections between the design of schools and learning. Indoor air quality, amount of natural lighting, opportunities to exercise, classroom sizes and school organization are all critical elements in children's health, development and performance.
 
The two free seminars on school design will start tonight in Addison. This is truly a unique opportunity to learn more about the growing information that links how schools are designed and the effects on our children.
 

 
Tonight's first presenter, Victoria Bergsagel of Architects of Achievement, is scheduled to be on KERA's Think with Krys Boyd, starting at noon. The broadcast will probably be available through the archives available at the KERA link.
 
I was told that GISD representatives will be attending. I hope to see you there.
