🪟 When shutting the windows isn’t enough 🪟

We’ve long known that our environments shape our ability to learn. Now, a UK study shared by BESA reminds us just how true that is: closing classroom windows doesn’t significantly reduce exposure to air pollution. It’s not enough to rely on surface-level solutions, we need to understand what’s really going on in our learning spaces.

Education is about cultivating the conditions where curiosity, focus, and wellbeing can thrive. That’s where the Gratnells Learnometer comes in. It helps schools worldwide monitor and improve critical environmental factors; light, temperature, air quality, sound, because every detail matters when it comes to attention, development, and potential.

💥Special offer💥: Right now, educators can bring the Learnometer into their classrooms more easily than ever. Discover how and take a step toward healthier learning.

🚀 Preparing Students for the Future 🚀

In collaboration with Gratnells, Dr. Robert Dillon highlights the critical role of Career and Technical Education (CTE) in an ever-changing job market. As many future careers have yet to emerge, students need to build adaptable, real-world skills - like collaboration, technical literacy, and problem-solving.

But skills alone aren’t enough. Learning spaces matter. Dynamic CTE spaces spark creativity, support hands-on exploration, and allow smooth transitions between projects. Mobile storage keeps tools organized, while flexible workstations adapt to students’ evolving needs.

At Gratnells, we create learning spaces that grow with students - equipping tomorrow’s workforce, today.
