![What are Next Generation Learning Commons?...
“Also known as “scholars' commons”, “information commons”, or “digital commons”, are
educational spaces, similar to libraries and classrooms that share space for information
technology, remote or online education, tutoring, collaboration, content creation, meetings and reading
or study.[1][2]” Wiki
Next Generation Learning Environment
REINVENT YOUR SCHOOL LIBRARY SPACE
Why the name “Learning Commons” ? - “It became clear that the focus of the
transformed traditional library should be on learning in its many manifestations, whether formal or
informal, and the word “commons” could reflect a shift from a top-down organizational structure to the
flat networked world where the clients, both teachers and students, consider themselves to be in
command of knowledge building.” - ALA

How then can principals best support their libraries? * Educate themselves to library and librarian potential. * Reconfigure the librarian's job to maximize realization of that potential. * Hire high-quality, forward-looking, energetic, innovative librarians. * Provide budget resources adequate to new roles and demands. * Effectively and accurately evaluate both the program and the librarian on jointly developed criteria recognizing library media work as simultaneously integral to instructional quality but distinct from classroom teaching itself.

Editor's Notes
- #7 Next Generation Learning: The Pathway to Possibility Andrew Calkins and Kristen Vogt April 2, 2013 (Revised)
- #14 Slide 1 - intro, what’s the purpose for reforming school culture? As campus leaders, we want to create a learning environment that promotes innovation and creativity that challenges all learners
- #15 Slide 6 - What is the driving our transformation in learning? Everything we do we focus on what’s best for students and focus on the 4 Cs……. Additionally, we envisioned flexible learning spaces that support the 4 Cs Leading technology tools, such as GAFE and Classroom have allowed our teachers to effectively differentiate learning, while creating a student-centered, high-tech environment where students are owning their learning in a high engagement setting Finally, principals are pursuing their passion and reforming best practices right inside our schools, such as transforming a library of archived resources and traditions, into an active learning commons with a makerspace that enriches students through S T E A M without the pressure of receiving a grade, and instead, inspired to create, make, and present their work through innovation
- #16 Slide 7 - Klein ISD focused district-wide through a collaborative effort, called the Transform Academy. It’s purposed was to create a positive impact on culture and student engagement, to make learning meaningful, and higher level in a non-traditional classroom setting. Teachers researched emerging tools to help students take ownership for their learning, which ultimately increases achievement, increases attendance in school, and decreases student discipline. Collectively in PLC and job embedded training, teachers are redesigning their instructional practices and project-based learning to effectively using digital tools through the use of GAFE and Classroom to deliver instruction with innovation and productivity, creating future-ready learners. Take a look at this short video from one of the transform academy teachers…..
- #17 What were our intended outcomes of Transform, from the principal’s perspective, and the teachers? Together, we supported our distritct’s mission statement with creating engaging learning experiences for all students. The team of principals and teachers researched leading edge technologies for our classrooms using a PBL approach to pilot with our students. We facilitated interactive, engaging and future-ready lessons, through teaching our TEKS, that support high levels of learning for all students in a creative, collaborative setting. Intended outcomes of student learning were measured through formative assessments, such as rubrics, and checkpoints along the way. The students are also accountable for measuring and tracking their progress, and growth through their learning process. As a principal, my job is to be the lead learner on my campus, by reading, researching, engaging in classroom lessons, reflecting with teachers in PLC, and studying data with all stakeholders. I want my teachers to feel comfortable to take risks in a new-style learning environment. The outcomes so far are simply AMAZING! 3 teachers, have spread their positive virus throughout our entire campus of 72 teachers, and now district-wide through site visits, and collaborating through sharing through Google Drive.
- #18 So what are some of the results of our work? The culture of the school has totally changed! Teachers and students are conferencing, collaborating and creating instructional opportunities that are meaningful, memorable, and intriguing for students. It’s beyond paper and pencil, and now inventing, sharing, and creating are what our students are accomplishing. Take a look at a final video from my campus.
