In case you missed it: Chantilly Academy's very own Teachers for Tomorrow (Tft) program was featured in this week's FCPS This Week newsletter. The article highlights an annual favorite project in our Teachers for Tomorrow class: creating classroom dioramas. For this project, our future educators use shoeboxes to design their ideal classroom. These dioramas reflect the learning environments they hope to create in the future for their students, including seating design, classroom stations, collaborative workspaces, storage space, and more. Be sure to check out the article to learn more about this creative project!
And for another glimpse into our Teachers for Tomorrow classroom, check out this Back to Fairfax video which features clips from our TfT class.
