Spatial Transition Pathway
The Spatial Transition Pathway provides a framework for the strategies and tools which support teachers to make the journey of change into innovative learning environments. Strategy is defined as an explicit concept, theory or practice that enhances teachers’ use of innovative learning environments. A tool is an identifiable activity or protocol, that implements a strategy. You can use the database to search for strategies and tools by temporal phase or transition theme(s). If you would like to contribute a strategy or tool, please contact the ILETC team.
Project Zero’s Thinking Routines Toolbox
Project Zero’s Thinking Routines Toolbox, developed by Harvard University, makes extensive use of learning routines that are thinking rich. A routine can be thought of as any procedure, process, or pattern of action that is used repeatedly to manage and facilitate the accomplishment of specific goals or tasks. These routines are simple structures, for example a set of questions or a short sequence of steps, that can be used across various grade levels and content. What makes them routines, versus merely strategies, is that they get used over and over again in the learning space so that they become part of the learning culture. The routines become the ways in which students go about the process of learning and can be used in conjunction with particular learning space configurations.
