8 Performance Design Considerations Workshop: Aligning People, Place and Practice
Date: Wednesday, February 18
Time: 1:00 PM EST / 12:00 PM CST
Speakers: Jolene Levin & Emily McGinnis
This CEU explores how physical learning environments influence cognitive, emotional, and social outcomes in K–12 education. Through evidence from neuroscience, environmental psychology, and ergonomics, participants will learn how to apply the 8 Performance Design Considerations to design learning spaces that promote health, safety, welfare, and academic success. The session introduces backward design thinking, linking learner outcomes to measurable environmental conditions, culminating in a live design audit activity.

AI+Learning+Space: NOT a Hybrid...a New Species for Learning Experiences
Date: Wednesday, March 4
Time: 1:00 PM EST / 12:00 PM CST
Speakers: Tomas Jimenez-Eliaeson & Gabriel Rshaid
Presented by Little and The Learnerspace
The emergence of generative AI is transforming education and requires moving beyond traditional hybrid learning. This CEU explores a new paradigm that uses AI as a cognitive catalyst to develop higher-order thinking while avoiding overreliance on automated tools. Participants examine how this shift reshapes space, time, and content and requires new learning environments that support active, peer-to-peer, and AI-enabled collaboration. The session concludes with an interactive, AI-powered design exercise translating insights into future-focused learning space concepts.

Designing for Engagement: How Learning Environments Impact the Brain
Date: Wednesday, March 18
Time: 1:00 PM EST / 12:00 PM CST
Speakers: Dale Griffin & Katie Clark
Students today are experiencing an engagement crisis driven by changes in attention, motivation, technology use, and sensory needs. This CEU explores how neuroscience and environmental design influence focus, behavior, and learning outcomes. Participants examine dopamine’s role in motivation, the rise of ADHD diagnoses, smartphone culture, and the importance of movement, sensory input, and ergonomic comfort. By connecting brain research with practical design strategies, the course equips designers to create learning environments that support attention regulation, promote well-being, and improve educational performance while meeting health, safety, and welfare requirements.
