"Learning Commons initiative"
“A learning commons is a whole school approach to building a participatory learning community. The library learning commons is the physical and virtual collaborative learning hub of the school. It is designed to engineer and drive future-oriented learning and teaching throughout the entire school. Inquiry, project/problem-based learning experiences are designed as catalysts for intellectual engagement with information, ideas, thinking, and dialogue. Reading thrives, learning literacies and technology competencies evolve, and critical thinking, creativity, innovation and playing to learn are nourished. Everyone is a learner; everyone is a teacher working collaboratively toward excellence. (https://llsop.canadianschoollibraries.ca/library-learning-commons/)
In updating our current learning commons, we are endeavoring to enhance the use of the space as a collaborative hub where students can share, explore and inquire. Further, we would like to create further flexibility in seating to address the diverse needs of students. Fundraising dollars would be used to purchase items such as:
- moveable whiteboard tables
- seating that can be reconfigured/rearranged based on learning task
- wobble stools
- ball chairs
As we make adjustments to our learning commons, we hope to create collaborative hubs spilling out into other shared spaces around the school to create further flexibility.
