Summary:
|
Staff requests approval to submit an application to Steelcase Education for the Active Learning Center Grant for Oak Grove Middle School. This grant will support the school’s redesign efforts, demonstrate a major shift in learning and build a strong foundation and conceptual understanding of scientific thinking and 21st century skills.
The Active Learning Center grant will pay for furniture, integrated technology, design, installation and post-occupancy measurement tool for one of four classroom types designed for 24-32 students. Oak Grove will use school-based funds to pay for painting, carpet and capital projects to support the development of this newly created “Discovery and Exploration space”. The planned space for the Active Learning Center, currently referred to as F-5, is a large open space that provides 85 square feet per student and allows for multiple configurations that can support individual quiet spaces with small group and large group collaboration learning simultaneously. It has high ceilings and modern flooring that makes movement easy. The new intended use as a Discovery and Exploration space will be where students develop skills and passions related to how Next Generation Science Standards and Design Thinking support student and staff engagement and learning. Oak Grove Middle is applying for a $62,000 grant for 2016. |
