What does 21 st Century learning look like?
EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR 21 ST CENTURY EDUCATION TYPICAL CLASSROOM WING
21ST Century Education A corridor becomes an extended learning environment
A stairwell becomes a learning tower Dining encourages collaborative learning
Student artwork is celebrated throughout the Academy. Supporting/Supplemental files/Images Every space within the school is used for educational purposes. The Neighborhood Academy
Gaming is used as a learning tool to support differentiated instruction for kinesthetic learners The Neighborhood Academy
The traditional classroom extends into the corridors. Garage doors provide privacy when needed but also allow supervision of extended learning environments. The Neighborhood Academy
Educational utilization is maximized through extended collaborative learning in the corridors. Circulation through these spaces is minimized by perimeter classroom locations, providing a single loaded corridor effect. The Neighborhood Academy

The Library takes the place of a lobby and is the first interior space experienced by students and visitors. Play is incorporated into the literacy curriculum via the alphabet walk and carefully selected play equipment. Springfield Literacy Center
The classroom extends into the single-loaded circulation system to maximize educational utilization. The separation is transparent to allow the teacher to monitor activity. Small group instruction areas are located between classrooms for literacy intervention. They are separated by sliding barn doors. Springfield Literacy Center
