GLOBAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS
SUMMIT
DATE: 19TH JUNE 2006
VENUE: JO RICHARDSON COMMUNITY SCHOOL, CASTLE GREEN, GALE STREET,
DAGENHAM, RM9 4UN
DEAR COLLEAGUE,
AS WE INVEST IN OUR SCHOOL ENVIRONMENTS LIKE NEVER BEFORE WE
NEED TO SHARE BEST PRACTICE, CHALLENGE OURSELVES AND REALLY MAKE
THE LINK BETWEEN DESIGN AND BUILD AND TEACHING AND LEARNING.
THIS SUMMIT WILL HEAR FROM SPEAKERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD AND
THE UK ON WHAT WORKED FOR THEM, WHAT DIDN’T AND WHAT CAN
WORK FOR US. IT WILL PROVIDE REAL CASE STUDIES OF HOW LEARNING
ENVIRONMENTS CAN HELP TO SUPPORT AND TRANSFORM TEACHING AND LEARNING.
AIMS OF THE SUMMIT
- TO EXPLORE DEVELOPING TRENDS IN TEACHING AND LEARNING WORLDWIDE
AND HOW THESE ARE SUPPORTED BY
THE DESIGN OF LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS
- TO SHARE BEST PRACTICE
- TO DEVELOP A COMMON LANGUAGE BETWEEN ALL PARTIES INVOLVED
IN SCHOOL DESIGN AND BUILD
- TO PROVIDE A FORUM FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS TO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES
- TO CAPTURE FINDINGS IN AN “IDEAS BOOK” TO BE PUBLISHED
AND DISSEMINATED POST SUMMIT
THE DAY WILL INVOLVE DELEGATES IN CASE STUDY PRESENTATIONS AND
DISCUSSION SESSIONS LED BY BOTH EDUCATORS
AND SCHOOL DESIGNERS FROM ACROSS THE UK, EUROPE, AUSTRALIA AND THE USA.
THE SUMMIT WILL HOST THE UK LAUNCH OF THE OECD/ PEB COMPENDIUM
OF LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS AS WELL AS THE
OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF THE BRITISH COUNCIL FOR SCHOOL ENVIRONMENTS (BCSE) – A
FOUNDATION FOR LEARNING
ENVIRONMENTS.
THE SEMINARS
EACH SEMINAR WILL INCLUDE AT LEAST TWO CASE STUDY PRESENTATIONS
BY A KEY THINKER, ARCHITECT OR EDUCATOR AND FOCUS ON INNOVATIVE
LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS FROM THE UK AND AROUND THE WORLD. THEMES
WILL INCLUDE
SUSTAINABILITY, ICT, SEN, COMMUNITY USAGE, SMALL SCHOOLS, LEARNING IN OTHER
SETTINGS AND REFURBISHMENT. PARTICIPANTS ARE ABLE TO ATTEND TWO SEMINARS EACH;
ONE IN THE MORNING AND ONE IN THE AFTERNOON.
A TOUR OF THE NEWLY OPENED JO RICHARDSON COMMUNITY SCHOOL WILL
BE HELD AFTER THE SEMINARS FOLLOWED BY A LAUNCH RECEPTION FOR THE
BCSE.
THE SUMMIT RECEPTION WILL FINISH AT APPROXIMATELY 18.15. JO RICHARDSON
WAS AN INSPIRATION TO MANY PEOPLE. WE HOPE THIS DAY INFORMS AND
INSPIRES YOU.
BEST WISHES,
TY GODDARD, SCHOOL WORKS/BCSE.
