Woodlands School is upgrading the Library into a Learning Commons. The Learning Commons model supports a learner-centered approach with a focus on active and collaborative engagement. A Learning Commons is a place that promotes:  

• Personalization of learning, including hands-on learning tasks; 
• Engagement with knowledge rather than passive consumption; 
• A culture of inquiry and innovation; 
• A dynamic physical environment that is both comfortable and functional; 
• Authentic learning opportunities for all students. 

This project will include the purchase of furniture, including soft seating, hard seating, bookshelves, and tables. It will also involve acquiring hands-on materials and resources to support a Maker Space area.
