What types of spaces are needed to support new paradigms in education? How can teaching environments support and facilitate a more active style of instruction?
Join us on Friday, May 15 at the National AIA Convention in Atlanta for Learning-by-Doing, a panel discussion exploring new paradigms in educational design and programming. Panelists include Ann Rolland, AIA, LEED AP, Principal, FXFOWLE; Peter G. Bachmann, AIA, NCARB, Principal, Institutional Market Sector Leader, JCJ Architecture; Jonathan Kanda, AIA, LEED AP, Principal, CO|FXFOWLE; and Michael Syracuse, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, Principal, CO|FXFOWLE.
Learning-by-Design will focus on the "flipped curriculum" which is shaping educational design/programming as technology and new methodologies of instruction are inverting traditional teaching processes. The "sage on stage" lecture style teaching is no longer the norm. Instead, collaborative, "hands on" learning-by-doing is becoming the standard by which 21st Century students are educated. Cross fertilization of curriculum is rapidly gaining momentum and is challenging the traditional siloed method of subject-by-subject teaching. Panelists will examine the role that these new strategies and technologies play in the "schools of the future," and how they are manifested in K-12 and higher education learning environments.
