 In this post I am offering my perspectives on how education today remains firmly entrenched in what is often called the Factory Model, which was designed for the Industrial Revolution. The majority of students at that time were educated to prepare for work on farms on in factories. This is an obsolete model of a by-gone era. But it is still with us today, well into the 21st century:   The Physical EnvironmentWhen designing a physical learning environment intentionally designed to support 21st century learning you must consider the design of the actual school facilities and the schoolyards. There is much more to the physical environment than beauty, although aesthetics are very important. The designs you will learn about here, both for the facilities and the schoolyards, incorporate features which support the 21st century learning paradigm as well as physical, mental and emotional health. As my favorite architect says, we have to "lose the cells and bells"; they are obsolete relics of a bygone era - the factory model of education.
