A THOUGHTSHOT is simply a reflection, thinking or opinion around a current topic.

When considering a redesign of LEARNING SPACES leaders should always start by clarifying the behaviours  that they wish to see.

Learning space design does not start with a catalogue of fixtures and furnishings.

This is different from starting with a browse through a furniture catalogue or a conversation with an architect.

Once the new behaviours/ preferred behaviours are clear, then is the time to consider how the physical spaces and fixtures reinforce the behaviours that are desired.

When contemplating the design or redesign of physical spaces, always focus on student success.
