Empowering Students in Redesigned Spaces

PETE&C 2018 w/ @KenEhrmann

We believe in student-centered learning but yet many classrooms still reflect the outdated sit-and-get lecture style of teaching. 21st-century classrooms need to promote the type of active learning educators are striving for. The journey will take you from flexible seating to redesigning giant learning spaces. Learn specific strategies on how to pair your instructional style with the design of your learning space.  Learn specific places to purchase furniture and resources to completely fund your project when there is no money to spare.
