TheThirdTeacher. CBS ThirdTeacher. Engaging the Third Teacher – LEARNING CONNECTIONS. This year we have been exploring Learning Spaces as part of our Dare to go Further journey with student learning. As a school that has implemented the IDEC model, we have transformed the way students think through their experience with inquiry-based learning. Our students know how to ask critical questions to delve deeper into their understanding of a topic or concept and they are as comfortable researching using books as they are exploring the digital landscape for knowledge.
It has all been very innovative as students exhibit divergent thinking, however the environment in which that thinking occurs remains static with a similar aesthetic to the schools of our youth. As we move forward, Caulfeild has begun to embrace strengthening the power of our “third teacher”. “the learning environment is “the third teacher” that can either enhance the kind of learning that optimizes our students’ potential to respond creatively and meaningfully to future challenges or detract from it.”

Posted by Stephanie Broad | June 15, 2015 | Interiors #eton-college#spaceoasis#innovation#interiors#learning-spaces#tony-little-centre The Tony Little Centre for Innovation and Research in Learning (CIRL) at Eton College is now officially open.
The vision of outgoing Head Master Tony Little, CIRL is designed to develop Eton’s expertise in teaching and learning. The centre will act as a research hub, allowing experimentation with cutting-edge innovations in teaching and learning and a greater emphasis on evidence-based practice. The Tony Little Centre is located in an existing building at the college, redesigned by local architect firm Lewandowski. Here, we take a closer look at the design features in three of the teaching and learning spaces.
Observation Classroom With a one-way mirror along the length of one wall, the Observation Classroom allows teachers to experiment with new ways of teaching and learning and to watch others doing the same. Creative ICT Suite Video Conferencing Room. Campus - DB-EXCEL. Hilliard City Schools - McVey Innovative Learning Center - LOTH, Inc. The McVey Innovation Learning Center is a one-of-a-kind high-school facility that lets students select what they want to learn while providing a learning experience they can’t get in a traditional classroom. Hilliard City Schools Superintendent John Marschhausen said they consider the learning center an incubator for trying new classes and new ways of teaching.
For example, they have 90-minute classes or doubled blocks where they offer a variety of cutting edge coursework, experiences and teacher support in a cost-effective manner. The center allows some of the district’s existing programs to be centralized and to expand other options such as after-school enrichment and college guidance services.

Sustainable Classroom. -Jenisha Shrestha '14 In fall 2013, Colby-Sawyer College dedicated a free-standing sustainable classroom designed and built by students that is one of the first commercial buildings in the state to integrate a straw-bale wall system.
I was involved with this one-of-a-kind experience from the beginning. The classroom is Colby-Sawyer's latest achievement in its efforts to cultivate a culture of awareness and action regarding sustainability and the environment. It is situated behind the library and next to the college's organic permaculture garden. It was made possible by a generous grant and the efforts of faculty members in the Environmental Studies Department, most notably Professor Leon-C. Malan and Director of Sustainability Jen White '90, as well as more than 100 dedicated students and community members. The courses were taught by Bryan Felice, founding owner of Undustrial Timber Frames LLC. Innovative NetZero Classroom. OASIS – A playful social learning space | RYM.
Our studies charting the situation and needs concerning group working spaces at the University of Tampere revealed a clear lack of the spaces to begin with, and a need for open, user-defined spaces which support collaboration, social interaction and creativity. Inspiration to build a demo space was sought from a review of playful office spaces and concept workshops. While building OASIS, hopes and fears for the forthcoming space were charted with a survey and taken into account when designing its social concept. Hybrid combinations of physical and digital dimensions in the design have been informed by collaboration with the Hybridex research project.
OASIS was officially opened in March 2014, and is now open for everyone including students, employees and visitors. OASIS features an elevated floor plan, bookshelves, four workstations and colorful furniture. Elements in space are designed for easy access, adaptability and reconfiguring to support opportunistic usage. Blackmore researchinto 2011. Home - Merchandising Libraries.

That's why we are delivering up to 1,600 new or refurbished classrooms and learning spaces across NSW. It's an important investment to help all students build the required skills for successful lives.
Students learning with new technologies Education in the 21st century is a high stakes enterprise Our education system will ensure that young people are prepared with the capacity to think, solve problems, and thrive in a changing society. Learning spaces will be adapted to meet the needs of creative and critical thinkers in preparation of roles in the workforce that are yet to be created. Increased digital connectivity for all schools will lead to learning spaces changing to incorporate a different style of interaction between those who are locally and physically present and those who connect remotely. Quality Teaching Matters Technology on its own will not deliver an improved learning experience for students.
Benefits for students. Innovativeeducation factsheet. Using archetypes to match learning spaces with physical and digital spaces. We all know that education is changing rapidly. We've all been to conferences where the keynote speaker shows slides depicting how vastly different the world is now to 25 years ago and how vastly different it will be in another 25 years. We know that the internet has lots of information and that the educator's job is to support students as they wade through the mire that is the World Wide Web. So just how is this changing the physical education landscape? For many, it's not. The traditional classroom originated in the throbbing heart of the Industrial Revolution - that was over 200 years ago. Recently the way I view my (physical) classroom has changed significantly. Collis' 'mythic notions' of learning spaces were discussed back in the 1990s in an article by Prof.
These have been adapted by architects responsible for designing new educational spaces, and images of these designs can be seen on the DesignShare website: Reference Bianca Hewes. Espace, environnement physique d'apprentissage. Reggio Emilia – The environment is the ‘third’ teacher | Design for Learning. Reggio Emilia educational approach and philosophy insists that children learn readily from their environment, and there for the environment is the ‘third’ teacher.
I’m assuming that the teachers/parents and the child themselves are the first and second teachers. So much has been written about this educational approach that I posted links to information below. You might wonder what an instructional designer is doing by focusing on pedagogy rather than adult learning theory. Perhaps it’s a result of my own efforts to deconstruct myself as a learner to better understand the subject of how to teach not just children but everyone regardless of their age.
Next, I need to understand learning from the perspectives of others. Also, I have this hunch that really building people who are ‘creative-workers’ takes more than just giving them internet access and the opportunities to collaborate. I don’t believe that Reggio Emilia is the one and only approach to education. Who is going to do the work? Discuss: Learning Environments.
Wanna Improve Education? Demolish the Classrooms. "Education is experience, and the essence of experience is self-reliance. " —T.H. White, The Once and Future King Who removed the classrooms? Apparently, the Danish government did. In 2005, the Danish government established a new vision for the secondary school reform. 3XN, an architectural firm based in Copenhagen, responded to the government's vision by creating a radically different learning environment for Ørestad College. 3XN's design for Ørestad College is a novel interpretation of agility and openness where the architecture complies with the pedagogy of individualized and interdisciplinary learning. In designing for teaching and learning, I am continually asking myself the following questions: 1. Well, I've found the answer—Ørestad College. For more of our coverage of 3XN's work, click here. For more images of the school, check out Dezeen.
[All images © Adam Mørk / 3XN] Cassie Stephens: In the Art Room: Let's Go to Paris! Each year, students, their parents and faculty friends ask me the same question: "So, where are we going this year?! " I began this tradition of decorating my room around our theme of study many years ago. I'd say I do it (in my best Sally Struther's voice) for the children, but the truth of the matter is, I just love doing it. The bonus is they love it as well. I'm so excited for them to see this year's theme: Traveling Europe. As you might have guessed, we are starting off our journey in Paris!
Which is just a pinch different from where we traveled to last year... I began with a really rough sketch of how I was hoping the windows would turn out. This side proved to be a pinch more difficult. Knowing that I'd be creating my room around this European theme, hubs and I went to Epcot on our trip to Disney at the very beginning of the summer. In between and above my windows are concrete blocks. Because my art room used to be a library, I have an enormous book shelf beside my windows. Mix It Up! Authentic Activities for the World Language Classroom. Do you ever feel stuck in a rut while planning your language classes? Perhaps you spend a lot of time lecturing at the white board, use the same activities with different vocabulary for every unit, or rely on teaching students grammar because that's how you were taught.
No matter your "go to" activity, we are all much more engaging when we vary our activities and make them relatable. If the speaker is engaging, a good lecture every now and then is enjoyable. However, when faced with daily lectures, students dread class, and hence, learn less. So why not mix it up? When dreaming up new activities, our main focus should always be authenticity. If we make activities genuine, our students will be much more inclined to participate, acquiring new knowledge through the process.
In a previous Edutopia post, I outlined how to best shape a unit around communication. Interpretive Mode Read children’s stories. Interpersonal Mode Engage your students in these activities: Presentational Mode. Does Your Classroom Tell a Story? Do you have mystery objects that attract the curiosity of students, leading them to ask questions that foster meaningful conversations? Is your classroom visually stimulating for the students? Does it cultivate creativity, and more importantly, is it filled with objects, images, and even props that help your students learn -- even when they think they're not learning?
Like most teachers, I decorate my classroom with posters and objects that help promote learning, but that also lend a little pizzazz to an otherwise humdrum learning environment. It is typical, for example, for science teachers to have full skeletons and periodic tables in the classrooms, or for history teachers to have maps and portraits of famous historical figures pinned to the walls. However, the best teaching props are the ones that are not so obvious and that help the teacher reach students in unexpected ways. Why is that Map Upside Down? One of my favorite classroom props is the "south up map. " Curiosity and Wonder. 5 initiatives pour repenser l’espace d’apprentissage. Bureau, estrade, tableau noir ; et si on sortait un peu de la salle de classe traditionnelle ? Ça tombe bien, c’est ce qu’une partie de la communauté pédagogique mondiale a en tête !
Rivalisant d’idées originales, ces formateurs imaginent les “salles de classe du futur”, faisant la part belle aux nouvelles technologies et au besoin des élèves d’apprendre autrement, avec plus d’interactivité, d’échange… et de confort, dans tous les sens du terme. Sydologie a sélectionné pour vous cinq initiatives intéressantes. 1/ L’école sans aucune salle de classe, à Stockholm Le groupe Vittra, qui gère une trentaine d’écoles en Suède, a sans doute créé à Stockholm le paradis de la modulation des espaces d’apprentissage. C’est simple : vous n’y trouverez aucune salle de classe ! Tout a été pensé pour favoriser la curiosité et la créativité des enfants. 2/ L’école aux rocking-chairs, à Lakeside (Pennsylvanie) Il arrive que les élèves soient stressés, agités, tendus. 3/ Les PECT, comme à Angers-Paris.
