Innovative Learning Environments
Introduction
There is currently a requirement for schools to become innovative learning environments. Variously known as modern, flexible or innovative learning environments, they are substantially different to the factory models of schools.
How we can help
Consultants at LEADERSHIP INNOVATION NZ have developed a high level of understanding and expertise in the development of innovative learning environments. Whether they are referred to as modern learning environments, innovative learning environments or flexible learning requirements the consultants can support a school’s movement from a traditional factory model to the new model. Contrary to popular belief this does not require walls to be knocked out or buildings to be demolished.
The biggest change in this process is developing a sound conceptual understanding that meets the needs of the school and its community. LEADERSHIP INNOVATION NZ is able to assist with this. Consultants currently work with innovative learning environments and other schools that are engaging in a change process as they rethink their learning format.
To begin a process of change leadership Innovation NZ supports Principals and other leaders in the school to develop a conceptual understanding and then to move from a conceptual and somewhat philosophical level to the highly practical. This particular service assists principals to explore the realities of change leadership, conceptualising innovative learning processes, understanding the need for teacher professional learning, curriculum and assessment changes that need to be implemented in order to ensure successful student learning.
