DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Schools
of the Future, Part 2" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's
offering.
Across the U.S., school districts are embracing the concept of
future-ready schools, or schools that are rooted in the 21st Century
Learning Framework. In such schools, teachers' and students' roles are
reversed-students take a greater role in directing their own progress
through a unique learning path, while teachers become guides and
mentors. This report, Schools of the Future, examines the
characteristics of future-ready schools, gleaned through the experiences
of those who have implemented key components, and provides a look at
where the U.S. is today in transforming the current education system
into the schools of the future.
Newly available: Schools of
the Future, Part 2: The Physical Space focuses on the new physical
spaces for learning-the changing school environment, both for new
construction and the redesign of existing space-that are being
implemented to facilitate the future-ready learning experience. These
new spaces demand flexibility for both students and teachers, but future
ready does not necessarily mean a huge construction project.
Practical
lessons on implementation of the aspects of future-ready schools are
provided through five case studies of districts or schools in each part
(for a total of 10 case studies) that are implementing facets of the
school of the future.
Schools of the Future was created to be
a reference resource and guide for developers, marketers and providers
of curriculum development, content, technology tools and devices,
assessment, professional development, furniture and educational
equipment.
