This planning matrix has been created to assist school/centre leaders to prepare for the creation of innovative learning environments, whether as part of a re-development of an existing school/centre, or when building a new facility.
This planning matrix has been created to assist school/centre leaders to prepare for the creation of innovative learning environments, whether as part of a re-development of an existing school/centre, or when building a new facility.
The framework is divided into three sections and any of the elements within each section can be used as a start point for exploration and development of an action plan. The three areas are:
Big Ideas - exploring the big picture concepts of creating innovative learning environments.
Elements - the different elements of an ILE to consider.
Support Dimensions - exploring the things that support effective ILE’s.
The matrix uses a progression across the columns to illustrate the growing level of maturing in terms of development and implementation. The phases in this progression are:
Visioning - exploring the bigger question of ‘why’, and exploring what’s possible.
Scoping - doing the homework on what needs to be done before making a commitment to planning.
Planning - detailed planning of all aspects, including buildings, curriculum, professional learning etc.
Implementing - making it happen, ensuring alignment, meeting milestones etc.
Sustaining - ensuring the outcome will endure and continue to support innovative learning well into the future.
