Susan and Andrea's class was so exciting to me, and I learned a bunch. Since the class, I have continued to study the subject as I find it so relevant to what we do everyday.

The Dunn and Dunn Model has been in use for more than 40 years, which is how long we have been taking many good and not so good spaces and turning them into classrooms that support diversity of learning. Irene pointed out her slide that identified the different areas one could design and plan for in a classroom.
I have to believe research is being done somewhere. Perhaps Irene is aware of that research.
Thanks and best wishes, Susan]]>Comment on E-Series: Designing Learner-Centered Classroomstag:blog.cefpi.org,2008-06-27:1154141Susan Rundlehttp://www.learningstyles.net2008-06-27T16:42:06Z2008-06-27T16:42:06Z We appreciate your comments. I especially found your thoughts about making a connection between the learning environment and the student's ability to learn real to you.
You will find a great deal of useful information at: www.learningstyles.net. Much of it is free. I too love the learning loft!
Best wishes, Susan]]>Comment on E-Series: Designing Learner-Centered Classroomstag:blog.cefpi.org,2008-06-27:1154135Susan Rundlehttp://www.learningstyles.net2008-06-27T16:38:28Z2008-06-27T16:38:28Z Thank you for your positive comments. I am pleased to hear that some of the information between our two presentations may be useful. I would love to know if you are able to incorporate how students learn into the space planning process.
Best wishes, Susan]]>Comment on E-Series: Designing Learner-Centered Classroomstag:blog.cefpi.org,2008-06-27:1154125Susan Rundlehttp://www.learningstyles.net2008-06-27T16:34:48Z2008-06-27T16:34:48Z Thank you so much Patrick. I am glad you were able to join us yesterday.
I hope you are doing well and I look forward to our paths crossing again.
Best wishes, Susan]]>Comment on E-Series: Designing Learner-Centered Classroomstag:blog.cefpi.org,2008-06-27:1153520Dennis Bekkenhttp://www.c2ae.com2008-06-27T12:05:12Z2008-06-27T12:05:12Z I would be interested to know if research is being done on most appropriate size of learning space to accommodate the various learning styles. The biggest obstacle facing us today in implementing flexible learning space is tightening budgets, Department of Treasury standards and administrators not familiar with these factors and resisting larger instructional space.]]>Comment on E-Series: Designing Learner-Centered Classroomstag:blog.cefpi.org,2008-06-27:1152945Margaret Manley2008-06-27T08:40:29Z2008-06-27T08:40:29Z
