Verb is an integrated collection of classroom furniture including tables, whiteboards, and instructor stations designed to support a full range of teaching and learning styles.
Features
Verb Flip Top Table
The Verb Flip Top table encourages active learning by engaging students through movement and allowing instructors to switch up the classroom layout. Instructors can coach students one-on one, in small groups or present to the class as a whole, ensuring that students learn critical skills like collaboration and creative thinking.
Verb Tables
Verb classroom tables are specifically designed to support different learning modes. The chevron shaped table improves sight lines, encourages collaboration and helps define personal work area.
- The mobile school tables encourage easy shifts between lecture, discussion, and project work.
- Its unique shapes promote interaction.
- A variety of sizes allows Verb to work in any classroom.
Verb Instructor Station
The Verb instructor station is ideal for instruction, collaboration, and concentrated work. The desk and integrated lectern support teaching – whether standing, perched or seated.
Key Features
- Consists of both a lectern and desk
- Provides support for multiple postures and work modes
- Offers storage for materials and tools right where they’re needed
Verb Whiteboard
The Verb whiteboard is the foundation for collaboration, display and presentation in the classroom, perfect for active learning.
The small dry erase boards are ideal for personal use, but large enough to share and work with a team, making collaboration more natural. And by simply placing a Verb whiteboard in a table dock, students gain privacy for test time or focused work.
Verb Whiteboard Display
Multiple options for wall track and hooks provide even more opportunities for presentation.
Verb FlipTop Table
Mobility and flexibility: wheels allow students to easily shift between individual and group work.
Integrated whiteboard display and storage: each student has a personal whiteboard to engage with the lesson during class.
Encourages active postures: untethered from power and cable routing, students and instructors can seamlessly shift postures.
Insights
Ongoing research
Our human-centered design research at schools, colleges and universities across the U.S. and Canada shows that while active learning is increasing, classrooms often prevent students and instructors from making the most of collaborative learning.
The same research can be applied to corporate learning spaces or project team rooms.
Research shows that instructors’ use of lecture is decreasing while discussion and group learning is rising. (Source: Educause Guide to U.S. Higher Education 2005)
Mobile + Versatile
Observation
Static furniture creates barriers to communication, limits movement, discourages collaboration and detracts from the learning experience.
Insight
Classroom furniture must be mobile, versatile and offer simple, seamless transitions for multimodal teaching and learning styles.
Temporary Storage
Observation
Lockable and hard-to-access storage in shared classrooms is not used by instructors. Their materials often end up on the floor or worksurface.
Insight
Instructors need temporary storage that is easily accessible throughout a class period, while freeing up work and floor space.
Multiple Postures
Observation
When teaching styles and postures are restricted, instructors can’t work the way that’s best for their curriculum and students.
Insight
Instructors need furniture that supports teaching while standing, perching on the desk and seated in conversation with students.
Engagement + Active Participation
Observation
Traditional classrooms are geared toward lecture mode and do not foster democratic participation or student engagement.
Insight
Cultivating engagement requires a fundamental shift toward active participation, with tools that are accessible and convenient for all.
