Displaying student projects and written reflections in a gallery format is a tangible way for students to share their learning journeys and encourages peers, educators and community members to participate, comment and reflect on the learning process. In many personalized learning experiences, the student\u2019s have agency to determine what artifacts are displayed, lending a degree of creativity and vibrancy to every nook and cranny of the classroom or school.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_232002\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_232002\" class=\"wp-image wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width: 1024px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-232002 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/images.steelcase.com\/image\/upload\/c_limit,dpr_auto,q_70,h_1024,w_1024\/v1451403700\/www.steelcase.com\/2015\/12\/29\/15-0013013.jpg\" alt=\"Poland\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_232002\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Student gallery spaces <strong>empower learner choice + voice<\/strong> and can encourage students to <strong>develop community<\/strong> with their peers and their teachers, giving them a better sense of belonging.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Home<\/h3>\n<p>Think of the way families relax in a living or family room. Soft lighting, comfortable, upholstered couches and chairs, and a mix of textures and objects (like a favorite photo or books on display, or warm, cozy blanket) all combine to create a welcoming, comfortable environment. Or picture how visitors always congregate in a kitchen at someone\u2019s home, hanging around a kitchen table (or near the snacks!). Bringing elements that resemble the best parts of home, from lounge seating to groupings of tables and chairs to individual getaway spaces, can create home-like personalized learning environments that students feel ownership over.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_419666\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_419666\" class=\"wp-image wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 1024px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-388302 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/steelcase-res.cloudinary.com\/image\/upload\/c_limit,dpr_auto,q_70,h_1024,w_1024\/v1528670833\/www.steelcase.com\/2018\/06\/10\/18-0106665-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_419666\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A quiet, relaxing place for students to <strong>reflect + respond<\/strong> allows them to slow down and examine their work progress and make adjustments as needed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Workplace<\/h3>\n<p>School, however, is not all relaxing and hanging out. In fact, it\u2019s very much like a job. So, like professional knowledge workers in an office setting, students should be able to choose the mode of work that best meets their needs, whether that\u2019s working independently, collaborating, meeting one-on-one or in small groups. Thinking of the classroom or campus like a professional working environment can create an ecosystem of spaces &#8212; from assigned workspaces to project rooms, from open collaboration areas to private offices &#8212; that supports a variety of work modes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_403083\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_403083\" class=\"wp-image wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width: 1024px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-403083 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/steelcase-res.cloudinary.com\/image\/upload\/c_limit,dpr_auto,q_70,h_1024,w_1024\/v1535381618\/www.steelcase.com\/2018\/08\/27\/18-0103267.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_403083\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">By granting students the <strong>freedom<\/strong> to choose how best to accomplish their goals, you <strong>nurture trust<\/strong> and encourage self-sufficiency. Students in this environment can also demonstrate their respect for the <strong>guiding principles<\/strong> they\u2019ve helped establish.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Playground<\/h3>\n<p>A playground isn\u2019t just a place for loud, fun expression, it\u2019s also a place for students to explore, discover and use their imagination. A playground encourages possibility without dictating what students should do. Playground elements are a key component to personalized learning environments. Providing multi-sensory learning spaces with lots of choices of materials, tool and resources to leverage, encourages students to physically, cognitively and emotionally engage in self-discovery and natural curiosity of learning. Rooms like makerspaces, STEM labs and design labs, provide playground-like qualities for students.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_387036\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_387036\" class=\"wp-image wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 1024px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-387036 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/steelcase-res.cloudinary.com\/image\/upload\/c_limit,dpr_auto,q_70,h_1024,w_1024\/v1528480772\/www.steelcase.com\/2018\/06\/08\/18-0106635.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_387036\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">By <strong>leveraging space, technology and time as resources<\/strong>, you give students the freedom to explore, discover and learn at their own pace and determine the best use of their time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NEXT CHAPTER<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.steelcase.com\/research\/articles\/guide-personalized-learning-experiences-personalized-learning\/\">Personalized Learning and You<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>PREVIOUS CHAPTER<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.steelcase.com\/research\/articles\/guide-personalized-learning-experiences-students\/\">Students<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Art Gallery Art galleries can inspire, provoke, educate, and invite public comment.
