Produktbeschreibung
In Blueprint for Tomorrow, Prakash Nair--one of the world's leading school designers--provides simple, affordable, and versatile ideas for adapting and redesigning school spaces to support student-centered learning. Richly illustrated throughout, Blueprint for Tomorrow challenges educators to rethink the ways that we teach and work together. "Prakash Nair is the first person to whom I turn for inspiration and guidance about the design of powerful learning environments for children and adults. His message is straightforward: the physical environment in which learning occurs should be designed and constructed around powerful theories of learning, rather than requiring that our theories of learning be adapted to fit into obsolete structures. In his work as an architect, and now in this book, he has transformed our ideas about the relationship between learning and physical space." -- Richard F. Elmore, professor emeritus of educational leadership, Harvard Graduate School of Education "Blueprint for Tomorrow demonstrates why and how school buildings influence pedagogy, curriculum and learning, and provides clear, practical and simple solutions that will enable schools to finally bring teaching and learning into the 21st century." -- Anne Shaw, founder and director, 21st Century Schools "The quest for great schools begins with Prakash Nair's Blueprint for Tomorrow. From modest 'do now' improvements to complete transformations, readers will find the tools needed to rethink and reimagine everything from the playground to the teacher's lounge. A must-read!" -- Bruce Rockstroh, CEO, Educational Resource Center, Inc. "In Blueprint for Tomorrow, Prakash shows educators how to create productive contexts for learning where students want to be and where their gifts may take flight. This is an important book by one of today's strongest voices for reinventing education." -- Gary S. Stager, executive director, Constructing Modern Knowledge Prakash Nair is the president and founding partner of Fielding Nair International, an award-winning school planning and architectural firm with consultations in forty-three countries. Prior to establishing Fielding Nair International, Nair worked as the director of operations for a multibillion-dollar school construction program in New York City.
