Whether you’re in the classroom, planning for a school building, or planning for an entire district, we are here to help!
Set Goals to Achieve in the Coming School Year
The first step in planning your next school year is to set goals. Take time to evaluate what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what resources you need to accomplish your objectives for the year. And don’t forget to dream a little! You may be planning for the use of Title programs, Perkins, McKinney-Vento, school goals, or even district strategic plans.
To aid you on your planning path, School Specialty® has developed and curated content and planning resources to inspire new possibilities for your classroom learning environment.
Inspiration Gallery
Our Learning Spaces Gallery has a breadth of ideas organized into categories. You’ll find inspiration for modern classroom designs, physical education spaces, common areas, early childhood classrooms, sensory spaces, makerspaces, and cafeterias.
As education transforms, so too does our approach to these learning environments. Our Classroom Select® lineup provides comprehensive furniture solutions, and our design and education experts are here to help create dynamic, innovative, and accessible learning spaces.

Take a look through the many new media centers, cafeterias, playgrounds, CTE, wellness spaces, sensory rooms, virtual reality rooms, and eSports arenas to see how your school might remodel a learning space to shape student futures.
