About this title

Synopsis

<DIV><P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt">A groundbreaking tool that assesses classrooms in a whole new way!

<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt">An inspiring environment is essential for helping young children learn. The Rating Observation Scale for Inspiring Environments (ROSIE) is an observation rating scale that challenges teachers to examine classrooms in a totally new way: with an eye for what is aesthetically beautiful and inspiring.

<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt">Looking through an aesthetic lens of nature, color, furnishings, textures, displays, lighting, and focal points, educators will learn to determine a classroom s level of aesthetic beauty. ROSIE then provides images and examples to assist in turning learning spaces into inspirational environments in which children can grow and learn.</div>
