Abstract

The purpose of this study was to review current space (at the time of this study) in a high school that might be converted into a collaborative learning space to promote 21st century instructional practices and learning. The study focused on instructional practices for 21st century type learning and a learning environment needed to promote constructivist learning. Secondary data, from a high school staff and student surveys regarding their interest in using or having access to a collaborative learning space was analyzed to determine the need and desire for a collaborative learning space. This data analysis was then used to apply for possible funding through grants and community partnerships to design and renovate the space identified, a media center, to meet the needs of a 21st century learning environment.
