Building on the idea of the classroom space as the "third teacher," Sibberson and Burkins have rethought the impact of the decisions we make around designing classroom spaces and organizing classroom libraries. These decisions can empower and foster student agency and serve as another piece of the experience of students as we prepare them for their ever-changing futures.

Simply put, Classroom Design for Student Agency is one of the most beautiful and brilliant books I have ever read. Lynsey Burkins and Franki Sibberson invite us to let go of our conventional ideas about how to set up a classroom space, and instead offer us a practical and aspirational guide to designing classroom spaces alongside our students. They invite us to create spaces that truly belong to children and the classroom community. And they don't just describe these ideas in broad terms. Burkins and Sibberson give us the gift of an illustrated guide to this work, full of small, but powerful moves and tools to design classroom spaces where amazing learning can happen. This book will surely be beloved by teachers everywhere.
