The Learning Environment Puzzle

How do you build an effective learning environment for your students? It requires coordination, cooperation, collaboration, and lots of creativity. You have a million piece puzzle and only 24 hours in a day. Puzzles are built one piece at a time. What kind of puzzle builder are you? Do you start with the border? Do you need to "see the box" to build the puzzle? From Internet access to revised standards, more and more pieces are being added to the puzzle every year.

This workshop will focus on how you, your resources, and your services fit into the learning environment puzzle.
