While the Learning Spaces committee ostensibly has only a single target, "Flexible, diverse, variable spaces," discussion during their first few meetings soon revealed there was more to consider than portable desks and writable walls. As the committee's Scope of Work states:

WAB's physical and virtual learning spaces promote a culture that focuses on learning and shared ownership. They are flexible and activate learning, supporting students' and educators' varying needs; they are comfortable, promote collaboration and help to make learning visible. The spaces allow for the following other targets to be successfully achieved:

• Co-constructed, personally relevant curriculum
• Real-world, connected practical learning
• Individualized schedules/timetables
• Individualized instruction and teaching
• Team teaching

In other words, the Learning Spaces committee needs to ensure that physical and digital spaces at WAB support whatever the other committees envision! Although that's a big ask, it's also an exciting one as the committee "think outside the classroom," as it were. The committee members also realized they need to know quite a bit more, meaning individual research on specific topics, then reporting back to the whole group. Divide and conquer!
