Blueprint for Tomorrow: Redesigning Schools for Student-Centered Learning


Description

The United States has about $10.5 trillion tied up in aging school facilities. School districts throughout the country spend about $30 billion every year keeping this infrastructure going. Yet almost all of the new money we pour into school facilities reinforces an existing - and obsolete - model of schooling. In Blueprint for Tomorrow, Prakash Nair - one of the world's leading school designers - explores the hidden messages that our school facilities and classrooms convey and advocates for the "alignment" of the design of places in which we teach and learn with twenty-first-century learning goals. Blueprint for Tomorrow provides simple, affordable, and versatile ideas for adapting or redesigning school spaces to support student-centered learning. In particular, the author focuses on ways to use current spending to modify existing spaces, and explains which kinds of adaptations offer the biggest return in terms of student learning. The book is organized by area - from classrooms to cafeterias - and is richly illustrated throughout, including "before and after" features, "smart idea" sidebars, and "do now" suggestions for practical first steps. It outlines key principles for designing spaces that support today's learning needs and includes tools to help educators evaluate the educational effectiveness of their own spaces. Blueprint for Tomorrow will open educators' eyes to the ways that architecture and learning are entwined and will challenge them to rethink the ways they teach and work together.

The only English translation of John Blofeld's memoirs as a Westerner living in China prior to the Communist Revolution Detective Carl Morck holds in his hands a bottle that contains old and decayed message, written in blood. It isa cry for help from two young brothers, tied and bound in a boathouse by the sea. Could it be real? Who are these boys, and why weren t they reported missing? Could they possibly still be alive? Blueprint for Tomorrow: Redesigning Schools for Student-Centered Learning download PDF A thousand years ago, humanity abandoned Earth after an environmental apocalypse engulfed the globe. In the ensuing centuries, the survivors settled on a hospitable planet called Nova Prime, withstood an onslaught from a mysterious alien force, and carved out a new home in the farthest reaches of the galaxy. This is the fractured home to which General Cypher Raige of the United Ranger Corps returns after an extended tour of duty. For Kitrai, his thirteen-year-old son, tagging along with his famous father is the adventure of a lifetime - and a chance to salvage their relationship. When an asteroid collides with their craft, they make a crash landing that leaves Cypher seriously - perhaps fatally - wounded. Kitai Raige has always wanted to prove that he has what it takes to be a Ranger. Now, all too soon, he gets his chance. With his father's life on the line, Kitai must venture out into the strange, hostile terrain of a new world that seems eerily familiar: Earth.
