Inspiring Spaces not only talks about how to create inspiring classroom spaces, but also is highly inspirational through its generous display of creative classroom spaces.  The book is built around seven principles of design:

  • Nature inspires beauty
  • Color generates interest
  • Furnishing defines space
  • Texture adds depth
  • Displays enhance the environment
  • Elements enhance ambiance
  • Focal points attract attention



An inspiring environment is essential for helping young children learn. The Rating Observation Scale for Inspiring Environments challenges teachers to examine classrooms in a totally new way — with an eye for what is aesthetically beautiful and inspiring.

This groundbreaking tool assesses classrooms in a whole new way!

This book is a companion observation guide for Inspiring Spaces for Young Children.
