The 21st-Century Learning Environment: Fresh Ideas, New Contexts
What role should educators play in shaping an environment in which authentic learning occurs? What does a model learning community look like? How can teachers help young people assume a stewardship role over their own environments? Three architects and designers explore these issues in this Educator Salon, documented in summer 2008.
Featuring a different theme each month, Educator Salons engage teachers in explorations of timely pedagogical issues, provide access to provocative speakers, and promote an open exchange among peers and colleagues. The Salon is an intimate gathering of educators with the goal of creating a community to raise questions and explore ideas.
