The learning environment inside is determined by your needs and our suggestions! We want to restore or create a place for your children to feel safe to learn. We will work with you to design and deliver a learning environment that allows teachers and learners to focus on education. Whatever you need, we can deliver and incorporate a thoughtful educational learning environment to help you help your students.

 

Our crisis management solutions are research-based (see  References), and they comply with the International Rescue Committee’s Minimum Standards for Education Emergencies (see Minimum Standards).  Most importantly, though, we are a mission-driven, caring organization whose primary concern is restoring education hope.  We want to get educationally displaced children back into safe, comfortable, and appropriate learning environments – as quickly as possible, and we are ready to partner with organizations around the world to accomplish this goal.

 

EduCrate classrooms are made from recycled shipping containers, and they come complete with doors and windows, heating and air conditioning, chairs and tables, black or whiteboards, classroom supplies, and up to 25 backpacks that are filled with notebooks and other essential student school supplies (see Contents).  The EduCrate can be customized for use as a science lab or an art room, and an array of upgrade options are available, including installed restrooms, electric generators, and wireless computer networks.  We can even send support personnel (teachers and Professional Development staff) and replacement curriculum materials, if needed (see Options).

Perhaps you want your students to learn in groups. We supply material and ideas for learning communities from two children talking about a book in a classroom nook, to learning groups of three, four and five students around tables, to larger groups along benches. Tell us how you want it, or ask us how we can help you.
