Unit education and the physical learning environment

Units with pupils of different ages instead of traditional classes

Education will always remain subject to change. Education no longer only takes place within the confines of a classroom; nowadays we have study plazas and other modular learning environments.

Unit education

Unit education is a recently developed type of education. A unit consists of basic groups with pupils of different age groups, which are divided into level groups. Pupils are educated and progress at their own level this way. This makes learning even more interesting and challenging for the pupils.

Versatility

In unit education, regular classrooms make way for units of around 70 to 90 pupils. Where teachers are part of a differentiated team of both internal and external staff. Working in units promotes peer interaction and cooperative learning. Unit teaching is versatile and allows for tailored education which requires a learning environment that accommodates this, of course.

Various seating arrangements and opportunities to study and work individually or in groups. Spaces that inspire pupils and allow them to choose the spot that suits them best. This approach ensures that the learning environment is stimulating and challenging for both the pupils and teachers.
