It's More Than Paint Color: School-wide Learning Space Design Initiatives (Room South 331B)

This workshop is designed specifically for administrators and school leaders looking to mobilize on schoolwide learning space design initiatives. You’ll discover ways to purposefully connect capacity-building environments with innovations and pedagogies through thoughtful methods and systemic frameworks. Through a solutions approach, you’ll learn all levels of a space design process from concept to design to implementation, and explore ways to bring in all stakeholders, capturing teacher voice and collaboration at all points from start to finish. Case-use examples will be shared and detailed, and focus will be placed on the creation of a customized plan that is strategic, sustainable, and connected to student outcomes and measurable impact. Specific tech tools for design will be demonstrated, and artifacts and resources will be shared and explored. Come learn step-by-step how to propel ideas forward and create school learning spaces that support best practices for teaching and learning across grades and over time!
