Recognition NetworksThe “what” of learning
How we gather facts and categorize what we see, hear, and read. Identifying letters, words, or an author’s style are recognition tasks.
Present information and content in different ways X
Strategic NetworksThe “how” of learning
Planning and performing tasks. How we organize and express our ideas. Writing an essay or solving a math problem are strategic tasks.
Differentiate the ways that students can express what they know X
Affective NetworksThe “why” of learning
How learners get engaged and stay motivated. How they are challenged, excited, or interested. These are affective dimensions.
Stimulate interest and motivation for learning

SCHOOL DISTRICTlessons learned
Always begin the visioning process not with a focus on architecture but rather a
conversation and exploration about learning...
How do we learn?
Where do we learn best and why?
Does the physical environment play a role in learning?
How do we achieve academic success for all students?

Professional development is key to make
systemic change work;
Teachers need to know how to
teach differently (longer blocks, team teaching, interdisciplinary, project based)
