Abstract | Amidst the debate over funding cuts, an increased focus on teacher effectiveness, and the move toward e-learning, many question the importance of quality educational facilities. But an examination of developmental and psychological theory suggests that exceptional schools have an exciting and crucial role to play in 21st century education. So, what does a transcendent school look like? Boiled down to its simplest terms, it is about creating connectivity among students and their surroundings. The traditional classroom model filters information through a primary source, "the sage on the stage." In an integrated classroom, all students are connected and can learn from one another. The teacher then becomes the "guide on the side." The ubiquity of digital information is another important aspect for a transcendent school. Although technological change is rapid and seemingly unpredictable, the direction of change is apparent--towards lower cost and increased connectivity, mobility and speed. This requires school districts and their planning and design consultants to have a clear understanding of technology and its influence on curriculum delivery. (ERIC). |
