Karen Terwilliger and Starr Sackstein have partnered with Times 10 Publications to help 6th-12th grade teachers build high-quality space-efficient learning spaces and classrooms.
When teaching middle through high school, you are likely to be confronted with a harsh reality: the classroom spaces you are provided are, simply put, sub-optimal. Whether it be a lack of space or an unwieldy classroom layout, these are challenges that you must work around to do your job effectively - but at what cost?
Times 10 Publications is bringing you a new title in their "Hack Learning" series that might be able to shed some light on the issue, titled "Hacking Learning Centers". With this book, you will be given some simple, actionable tools that you can use to enhance your classroom, and therefore the experience and wellbeing of your students.

“Hacking Learning Centers”, as the title suggests, focuses its pedagogical framework around the idea that the physical spaces in which teaching is conducted are just as important as the material being taught. The new advice presented in the book is intended to help teachers like yourself design and build better learning spaces and systems that encourage collaboration and creative thought.
Like the other titles in the “Hack Learning” series, this book presents a combination of short and long-term strategies, which include so-called “do it tomorrow” tips that can be immediately implemented. The authors concede, however, that constructing ideal physical environments can be time and resource-consuming, and much of their focus is on streamlining that process.
The authors of this title set out to encourage you to embrace the material needs of your students by organizing classroom spaces in a more personalized and space-efficient manner. They argue that doing so can help students more freely exercise their creativity and leadership skills due to the fact that resources are more readily available.

This book is the result of the collaboration between authors Starr Sackstein and Karen Terwilliger, both of whom are professional educators deeply invested in formulating innovative pedagogical strategies. Sackstein, additionally, is an education technology designer whose career has given her an intimate understanding of the material needs of both the student and teacher in a classroom setting.
Their combined expertise has led them to create “Hacking Learning Centers” in order to convey the importance of group collaboration among students. The tips in the book focus on the multiple ways in which that kind of teamwork can be encouraged simply by constructing more welcoming spaces for students to learn in.
If you are interested in the science and philosophy behind classroom spaces, this is the ideal book for you. The guide can help you improve your classroom tomorrow, next week, and even ten years from now - all you need to do is implement these advanced pedagogical techniques.
This title joins many others in the “Hack Learning” series, all of which present unique pedagogical perspectives from industry leaders in education. This title is available in both paperback and ebook formats, and can be found on the Times 10 Publications website or on Amazon.
