change the classroom, change the learning
DESCRIPTION
In 2009 we began a redesignplan for two of the classrooms on our campus to encourage student-centered teaching practices. The results were more surprising than weexpected. If you want to change the way instructors teach, you may have to change their environment first.>TRANSCRIPT

What do the classrooms say?
What instructions do they send to the
students?

Instructors are encouraged to have students engage in
more active learning…

But the classrooms send a very clear
message …
Prepare for Lecture
![Page 9: Change the Classroom, Change the Learning](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5481c232b4af9fb1108b4595/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What if the classroom sends a different
message?

Tip: One student in each pair “Travels” every two problems (we call these students the “Travelers”).

Tip: The tables make it easier to quickly get to the boards.

Here’s the same room with just the boards, no half-round tables.

Identify the target!(justify that it is mostly used for math anyways)
![Page 44: Change the Classroom, Change the Learning](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061218/5481c232b4af9fb1108b4595/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
A Picture is Worth 1000 words … seriously.

Ask for Two Rooms(come on, you know why)

Line up a group of users(Is anyone REALLY going to want to use these rooms? I mean, math teachers just lecture.
They’re going to hate them.)

NAME the Rooms
“This year the college built a new Student One-stop and two Math
ELITE Classrooms.”
(administrators like to show off new classrooms)
