dc.description.abstractThe problem with the interior spaces in the vast majority of British Columbia (BC) schools is that they are designed to suit the needs of 20th century students. Most classrooms have been designed to accommodate rows of desks, and feature white boards around the perimeter of the room. This design unfortunately does not lend itself to helping students learn the skills identified by educational experts as critical, for youth to be successful in the 21st century. If the Province wants graduates who are well prepared to adapt, innovate, create, critically assess, and navigate the future, then we as teachers, administrators, and school district officials need to reimagine BC schools, in order to provide our students with engaging learning environments to develop their 21st century skills. This project offers recommendations for problem based teaching approaches, as well as suggestions on how best to utilize classroom spaces, in order to effectively reach students, and teach them vital 21st century skills.en_US
