Next Generation Learning and The Future of the Education Reform Movement
New Classrooms Innovation Partners designs and implements innovative instructional models that leverage classroom design, teacher talent, and technology to enable personalized learning for every student every day. New Classrooms' first-of-its-kind technology draws from tens of thousands of high quality lessons to create a dynamic curriculum tailored to students' unique needs.
New Classrooms' flagship instructional model, Teach to One: Math, integrates teacher-led, collaborative, and independent instruction in ways that enable students to not just learn skills but apply them in real-world contexts. In the 2013-2014 school year, the more than 6,000 students participating in Teach to One made math gains at 1.5 times the national average – equivalent to an additional half year of learning in a single school year.
New Classrooms CEO Joel Rose will discuss how the organization's innovative instructional model, Teach to One: Math, creates 10,000 unique and personalized schedules for students every day based upon each student's individual strengths and needs and explain how this type of next generation learning is a crucial next step in education reform.

Active Learning and the Classroom: What are the Barriers for Success?
If Active Learning can be described as; "An individual's pursuit of
knowledge acquisition by engaging in a combination of multiple
experiences, including: individual study, dyadic interactions, and team
work," How do we best support these activities using Pedagogy, Space &
Technology?
This session has been compiled from years of ongoing human-centered
design research focused on the field of K/12 Education. We will look at
the current issues facing classroom layout, as well as take a look at solutions for creating Active
Learning Ecosystems.

Tour & Discussion
The New CECIL SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY
The Chesapeake Bay/Delaware Valley Chapter is sponsoring an upcoming tour and discussion event.
Friday, January 29, 2016
8:30 am to 10 am
Cecil School of Technology,
912 Appleton Road,
Elkton, MD
Cecil County Public Schools (CCPS) took an innovative approach to meeting their need for an expanded career and technology program. Rather than building a new facility or renovating an existing school, they purchased and renovated a commercial research and development facility that came with a high-bay area, advanced science laboratories, conference space, and a sophisticated electrical system. The entire project cost less than a replacement school. Located in an industrial park, the school will facilitate alignments between the education programs and industry partners.
The program will include a discussion on adaptive re-use, the programming of the technology school, and the redesign of the project from a replacement comprehensive high school to an adaptive re-use career and technology school. A tour of the school will follow the discussion.
The discussion will be led by Perry Willis, Executive Director of Support Services for Cecil County Public Schools, and representatives from Buck Simpers Architect & Associates (BSA+A), the architects for the project.
Continental breakfast will be provided.
