Educational Session
Reimagining Teacher Preparation Classrooms for AI-Supported Learning
How should classrooms evolve as AI becomes part of teacher education in colleges and universities? This session presents early findings from a participatory design study of a pre-service teacher education classroom. Using surveys, interviews, and design conversations with instructors, students, and staff — alongside insights from Steelcase research on AI and learning environments — the project examines how spatial design, furniture, and infrastructure shape the meaningful use of AI and other digital tools.
Presenters:
Andrew Kim, Research Director, Steelcase
Mike Frazier, Graduate Assistant, College of Education, Michigan State University
Michael Lachney, Associate Professor, College of Education, Michigan State University, College of Education, Department of Counseling, Educational Psychology and Special Education.
Date: Wednesday, October 28th
Time: 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
From Pilot to Districtwide Transformation: A Strategic Path to School Redesign
Transforming learning environments across an entire district can feel overwhelming, but strategic pilot programs can provide a powerful pathway to innovation. This session explores how school leaders can use pilot initiatives to test ideas, gather meaningful data, and build the momentum needed to support large-scale redesign. Participants will hear the real-world experience of a school district that implemented a thoughtful, year-over-year strategy to reimagine learning spaces and instructional models through a phased, evidence-based approach.
Presenters:
Marisa Sergnese, Applied Research and Learning Consultant, Steelcase
