One journey, many pathways: Teachers’ transformative journey into innovative learning environments

Transitions—a component of the Australian Research Council’s Innovative Learning Environments and Teacher Change (ILETC) linkage project—is a series of research symposia running in 2017 (Melbourne, Michigan and London), 2018 (Melbourne, Phoenix and Copenhagen) and 2019 (Melbourne). It brought together researchers, educators and industry partners to showcase research that explores the theoretical and practical issues involved in creating successful innovative learning environments. In 2017, the symposium opened the door to an international conversation about realising the potential of innovative learning spaces. Transitions 2018 continued the conversation by considering what teachers are doing (well) to transition from traditional spaces to innovative learning environments (ILEs). Transitions19 was a three-day trans-disciplinary, research symposium focusing on the journey schools and teachers make as they re-imagine and redevelop their learning spaces.
