Both the design of learning spaces and the teaching practices used within them have a profound effect on how students learn.

 

This micro-credential is ideal for currently practising educators in the K-12 sector who want to extend their teaching practice and improve student learning in innovative learning environments.

 

It's also valuable for other practitioners (including architects, educational consultants and administrators) who are seeking the skills to lead change in schools.

 

Delivered online and in-person, this course provides evidence of achievement against Australian Institute of Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) standards.

 

Explore approaches to student-centred learning

Understand how both the pedagogical and design aspects of innovative learning spaces can maximise student outcomes. Examine the theoretical and practical aspects of student-centred learning as well key policy initiatives that support it.

 

Identify opportunities and challenges created by innovative spaces

Assess learning spaces as a pedagogical tool and the opportunities and limitations they present. Consider environments designed for direct instruction or team-based learning as well as rapidly reconfigured spaces.

 

Design a model learning environment

You'll be guided to model an environment that enhances a learning characteristic of a contemporary student. Working individually and in groups, you'll deepen your understanding of how to positively impact student learning within different contexts.
