Welcome to New Designs for Learning!    
               
     
               
New Designs for Learning is a comprehensive approach to educational reform and revitalization. The aim of New Designs is to significantly enhance learning results for all students through their life spans. Application of the design process and resulting recommendations have been made to a wide range of settings including K-12 schools, community and technical colleges, universities, and community-based training agencies. Key design themes include using active learning strategies; integrating subject matter areas; linking learning in school, college, and community-based settings; and leveraging partnerships among educational levels and with businesses and community organizations. New Designs for Learning incorporates insights from research and development and promising professional practice; variations in organizational structures and settings; strategies used in other countries; imaginative ideas by futuristic educators; and collaboration among innovative teachers, policy makers, and community representatives. The resulting design recommendations equip educational leaders with new capabilities in designing learning experiences and environments.
