We’ve always known that the design of our schools has an impact on how well we teach and learn. This public Summit explores evidence of this effect. What do we know, and what do we need to know? It mirrors a similar European event held mid-year in Copenhagen and a Southeast Asia / New Zealand / Australia event later this year. This Dallas event will help build networks and a comprehensive understanding of what is good evidence and how can this be used to build better schools.
With the increasing call for cost-effective school designs that do not disadvantage student learning, the need has never been greater for evidence that clearly shows what works best, for whom, and under what circumstances. The Summit will provide a combination of guest speakers from leaders on this topic, and Snapshot presentations by teams currently doing research in our geographical regions. These opinions span the academic sector; but also, school policy, practitioners and school leaders; and a range of industries that provide this infrastructure.
The event will be underpinned by learning from the Innovative Learning Environments and Student Experience project (ILESE). More than a year was spent on workshops with >250 learning environment leaders from education, academia and industries, representing 19 countries. This identified what research practitioners know of and use. It identified gaps and established a list of priorities for the next decade of research and action. It designed a research strategy capable of gathering the required evidence. That strategy was translated to six languages and piloted in 30 sites in 21 schools across 10 countries (n=946).
ILESE acts as one example of collaboration by those concerned with seeking better schools, to add an evidence-based foundation to our work. Come, discuss, and help conceptualise effective use of quality research that leads directly to benefits for our students.
