Beyond Four Walls: Designing Learning Spaces That Transform Student Outcomes

Classrooms with rows of desks and a blackboard in front are a thing of the past, but how can educators and education companies work together to create environments that truly transform student learning?

Drawing from the findings of MDR's report, The Impact of Learning Spaces on Student Success, this panel explores the creative ways teachers are using new tools, technologies and products to design learning spaces that accelerate achievement and how education companies collaborate with them to develop learning space solutions. Panelists will address the importance of a pedagogical approach to designing spaces driven by learner needs and curriculum.

Learning Objectives:

1. Discover new ways to think about learning space design and the factors that impact it.
2. Learn strategies for collaborating with educators/education companies for creating spaces that transform learning.
3. Explore the meaning of a pedagogical approach to designing learning spaces.
4. Think in new ways about the connection between "where" students learn and learning outcomes.
