“Innovation in Education Event” featuring our special series of “Educators Educating US!”
We’ll explore the ways in which pedagogical innovation and cutting-edge design impact the relationship between facilities and learning and how changes in pedagogy converge with design.
Perrysburg Schools’ new state of the art STEM 5-6 grade school, Hull Prairie Intermediate School, was designed to reinforce collaboration and teaming. The school is only one of 42 schools in Ohio to receive STEM recognition; part of a statewide push to find ways to make learning more engaging for students. New features include flexible learning environments, open collaborative spaces, STEM, Music, Art and Innovation spaces to create a dynamic multi-purpose venue to meet a wide variety of needs and styles. The Collaborative TMP Architecture and Perrysburg Schools collaborated to create a unique, student-centered learning environment by examining current curricular learning objectives and designing spaces to reflect these trends.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify key programmatic building elements – centralized STEM labs, open collaboration areas, outdoor learning spaces – that support innovative teaching & learning techniques.
- Learn how flexible learning environments and integration of technology support progressive approaches to specific instructional activities.
- Explore the innovative methodology for professional development used to reinforce the overall vision of the school.
- Discover how to develop curricular partnerships that promote community & student engagement.
