The Amorphous Classroom: Transforming Educational Environments through Pedagogical Shift

  • Date:Thursday, November 4
  • Time:8:00 AM - 9:00 AM Eastern Standard Time
  • Description: Central Pennsylvania's West Shore School District has reimagined the first of many facilities to meet a new instructional pedagogy and grade alignment. This session will demonstrate how a public-school community can successfully enact a pedagogical shift and provide a roadmap for breaking out of traditional 'silos' by establishing integration between the public-school community, design team, and "resource" consulting team. The team will share how they successfully integrated the building design process with a systematic prototyping of agile learning environments to ensure the desired pedagogical outcomes would be realized with the completed project.
