The workshop is based on our teacher workshops conducted in 2017 that used design thinking activities to provide an opportunity for educators to :

  • Explore the topics of deep learning, teacher mind frames, changing practice, and space design through research-driven games and activities.
  • Learn of groundbreaking research coming out of the University of Melbourne on the relationship between the built environment and teacher practice.
  • Discuss how culture, professional learning, organizational structures, and leadership all contribute to successfully aligning pedagogy and place.
