The innovative learning environment (ILE) matrix developed by Core Education provides a framework to guide educators on thinking around planning and implementing innovative approaches to support learning and teaching practices. The framework is divided into three areas for educators to focus on:

• Big ideas: exploring the big picture concepts of creating innovative learning environments
• Elements: different elements of innovative learning environments to consider
• Support dimensions: exploring the things that support effective innovative learning environments

The framework also outlines the progression of an innovative learning environment across the three areas. The phases include visioning, scoping, planning, implementing and sustaining.
