Podcasts about innovative learning environments

Dr. Raechel French is passionate about helping schools design and use their spaces better and has been actively researching and working in the educational architecture industry for over a decade. In this time, Dr. French found that even the best planning processes often do not lead to the school envisioned. She toured project after project of award-winning work to see collaborative spaces empty, glass walls covered in paper, locked small group rooms, and lecture instruction in spaces meant for student-led, multi-modal work.  The movement towards providing these innovative learning spaces is far outpacing the delivery of professional development and organizational shifts that would allow them to achieve their potential. The gap between design intent and reality is commonplace. To better understand this gap, she joined the Learning Environments Applied Research Network (LEaRN) at the University of Melbourne through a Fulbright Postgraduate Scholarship in 2017, working on the Innovative Learning Environments and Teacher Change (ILETC) project. She continued this work in the United States through her PhD research.  Dr. French's research elevates the importance of school community development, particularly building positive and trusting relationships among teachers. These relationships are prerequisite to achieving the goals envisioned around innovative learning spaces since these often require more collaboration and sharing of both space and students. Her work also proposes a "Systems View of an ILE" in which intentional Physical and Organizational Supports serve as "nudges" to reduce the complexity of spatial shifts and enable shifts in practice.   Season 7, Episode 11 of the Better Learning Podcast https://www.betterlearningpodcast.com/   Kevin Stoller is the host of the Better Learning Podcast and Co-Founder of Kay-Twelve, a national leader for educational furniture.

Welcome to the next episode of The Art of Teaching. I have the great pleasure of introducing you to another phenomenal guest, Dr Fiona Young. Dr Young is an architect and researcher in the field of learning environments. As Studio Director at Hayball in Sydney, her focus is on Education and GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) sector projects. Her research focus is on learning environment affordances that support deep and playful pedagogical practices. Conducted through the Innovative Learning Environments and Teacher Change (ILETC) project at the University of Melbourne, Fiona's PhD research identifies strategies to support teachers in recognising and using the affordances of innovative learning environments. Central to her role is enhancing learning opportunities through design and interpreting and bridging understanding between educators and architectural teams.  Fiona has extensive experience in integrative briefing processes, workshop facilitation and master planning. She has developed a number of successful community consultation strategies, engaging leadership teams, staff, students and broader communities as co-designers in the project process.

In addition, she regularly mentors teachers in the use of SOLO for teaching and learning. Over the past two years, Virginia has focused her teacher inquiry around the "Plan to Pedagogy Project". http://www.iletc.com.au/ The Innovative Learning Environments and Teacher Change (ILETC) project is an Australian Research Council Linkage Project funded led by The University of Melbourne. The project investigates how teachers can use the untapped potential of Innovative Learning Environments (ILEs) to improve learning outcomes for students. The collaborative research will identify whether there is a link between quality teaching and effective use of ILEs and develop practical tools to assist teachers to adapt their teaching practices to maximise deeper learning. Currently she is also champion of the Flexible Grouping Initiative where she mentors two Across School Leaders and eleven In School Leaders in the Auckland Central Community of Schools Kāhui Ako. Virginia is passionate about building and establishing strong relationships with all stakeholders. Her school leadership work with The Springboard Trust involved working on the “Schools@Heart Project”. The outcome guided Newmarket Primary Schools Strategic Plan.

As learning business leaders, much of our work focuses on the design of learning. But if we take that one step further and begin thinking of ourselves as designers of learning environments, we may be able to broaden our influence and have a greater impact on the learning experience. This is a guiding principle behind the work of Dr. Bucky Dodd, Chief Learning Innovation Officer at the University of Central Oklahoma and Director of the Institute for Learning Environment Design (ILED). His research focuses on innovative instructional design initiatives including the design of learning environments. In this episode of the Leading Learning podcast, Celisa talks with Bucky about Learning Environment Modeling™ (an approach he’s pioneered at ILED), how learning environments impact learning experiences with learning effectiveness, and the changes he sees on the horizon for lifelong and life-wide learning.

En este episodio, y como continuación o complemento de la entrada que escribí en mi blog, analizo lo que, bajo mi punto de vista, son algunas de las claves para el cambio educativo y la necesidad del mismo. ¿Por qué seguimos con métodos tradicionales cuando nos estamos quejando de los pobres resultados de la educación en España? Sin embargo hay docentes que se aferran y apuestan por los métodos tradicionales ¿Habrá argumentos válidos para denostar las metodologías activas? ¿Es una excusa para el inmovilismo y la comodidad de no salir de su zona de confort?Gracias por vuestros comentarios y valoraciones y por hacer el anterior episodio el más escuchado de los que llevo hasta ahora.INNODUCATION.COM https://www.innoducation.com/Mi Centro ha sido seleccionado dentro de la convocatoria de Proyectos de innovación educativa que hizo la Consejería de Educación de la Comunidad de Madrid.
