The Arkki teacher’s role is to be a facilitator, guiding pupils through carefully designed learning paths. The teacher is crucial in creating a warm and secure atmosphere, inside which the children feel confident to experiment and also to take creative risks.
Arkki teachers are trained with Arkki’s pedagogical approach and have a background in architecture and design.
“A fun, playful and safe learning environment is the starting point for creative explorations into the world of architecture and design.”
— Jere Keskinen, Architect, Educator, Global Curriculum and Instruction Lead at Arkki International
In Arkki, the teacher’s role is not traditional. In Arkki, the teacher joins the pupils on their personal learning journeys, supports their individual research and experimentation.
The educator guides them forward with discussion and question-making. The different phenomena are approached individually and in groups through inspiring pictures, discussions, planning, designing, drawing, writing, modeling, constructing, etc.
