Restarting schools can be a catalyst to help us refocus our educational values – to engage students, teach relevant 21st century skills, and expand our ideas of teaching to encompass lifelong learning in the workforce. Remote learning and socially distanced classrooms are only the first steps to re-start education. How can design of school facilities meet the demands of new programs and pedagogy in the age of COVID? This webinar will examine how social distancing can foster new ways of structuring student activities inside and outside the classroom: how to serve students with differing learning preferences: and how new ideas about how to deliver the curriculum can improve teaching outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify how core educational values are affected in the age of COVID constraints on schools.
- Identify impediments to educational change, and how COVID affect them.
- Learn how COVID constraints affect students with different learning modalities.
- Review spaces that improve learning environments in a socially distanced school.
