geesebot: California’s classroom conditions are among the worst in the nation, according to studies by the Air Resources Board and the Department of Health Services. Some 85,000 trailers—euphemistically dubbed “learning cottages” by manufacturers—pepper the state’s poorest districts. The goal of Project FROG is to replace all of California’s portable classrooms with green buildings by 2015. FROG classrooms are made from prefabricated modular units, and can be arranged in different sizes and shapes to fit each school’s needs. They also maximize and optimize natural light, and the Heschong Mahone Daylighting Study found that simply providing students access to daylight could raise standardized test scores by 10 to 25 percent.
