# 8 Ways to Stay Mighty
MooreCo has been committed to providing environments where people can thrive for over 3 decades. But [what does it mean to thrive?](https://blog.moorecoinc.com/what-does-it-mean-to-thrive) Once all of our survival needs are met (safety, food, shelter, water), we can focus on the higher range of needs. Hierarchy by MooreCo was inspired by [Mazlow's Hierarchy of Needs.](https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-maslows-hierarchy-of-needs-4136760) We imagined a world where students were not only stimulated, but supported, encouraged, and set up to succeed in all their learning endeavors.

# What Does it Mean to Thrive?
At MooreCo, we’re big on thriving. Our [Thrive Philosophy](https://blog.moorecoinc.com/6-stages-of-human-development-that-inspire-design-strategies) came about in 2019, to focus on designing spaces that encourage physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, social-emotional, and moral development. Even as there were opportunities to help students thrive then, the pandemic made that need even more dire. The past year has taken a toll on students, teachers, and parents in ways that will take time to recover. With the help of [ESSER funds](https://go.moorecoinc.com/resources/8-ways-to-get-the-most-out-of-your-esser-funds) allocated to schools to help with this recovery, our hope is that schools and students will have access to the resources and spaces they need to truly thrive.

# The Four Corners of Harmonious Classroom Design
“To slow time down, practice enjoying the moment. It is where we spend our entire lives.” This wisdom from the I Ching describes an ideal way to live by slowing down. In the digital age, however, it’s getting more and more difficult to take this sage advice. Because of the pandemic, we are even more devoted to time spent on our devices, staring at screens with fast-paced minds. Among students, this trend has had some negative consequences. Adolescents and young adults (known as Gen Z) are [struggling with mental health](https://www.aecf.org/blog/generation-z-and-mental-health) more than previous generations. When students return to school this fall, it will be important to consider their mental, physical, and emotional health. But educators, parents, and school designers would be remiss to discount the benefits of considering students’ spiritual development when creating spaces and schedules for student health. This doesn’t mean subscribing to a certain system of belief. It can be as simple as integrating space for silence, breathing, and reflection.

# 5 Benefits of Esports Spaces in Educational Design
If you’re not sure what esports are, you aren’t alone. But for educators, parents, and designers of educational environments, it’s time to learn. This competitive video gaming is quickly gaining popularity as a form of extracurricular activity for intermediate and higher learning institutions. As the popularity of esports continues to rise, it may become even more significant following the pandemic. There are many benefits to esports in educational environments and this will be particularly important as students begin to reintegrate to in-person learning after a year in partial isolation. So how can esports benefit your school or student? Here are just benefits for your consideration.

# Combating Learning Loss by Understanding Student Psychology
The last year has not been easy on American students. [Learning loss](https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/30/learning-loss-from-virtual-school-due-to-covid-is-significant-.html)caused by the pandemic has hit communities throughout the U.S., with some educators and experts fearing the long-term damage of this time spent away from in-person school. As many district leaders begin to plan for welcoming more students back to schools in person this fall, there is an urgent conversation happening for how to best help them catch up. With the passing of the [American Rescue Plan](https://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/us-department-education-makes-available-36-billion-american-rescue-plan-funds-support-students-and-institutions), there is an opportunity to create environments where students can succeed with stimulus money allotted for American schools. But what items might help students recover from the last year?
