Imagine a world without creativity or imagination. We would likely eat the same food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, read the same book over and over, and play the same game day in and day out. Now imagine a world without innovation and risk. We wouldn’t have computers or the internet or modern medicine to protect us. We might not even have the process of education as theory and practice drive the evolution of education. Many times, we limit our innovative thinking because we become content with the status quo as it’s easy and familiar. In the field of education, schools and districts are seldom complacent and content; moving school improvement policy and practice in new directions is imperative to student success. Innovation and establishing new standards are key principles in Exploration Zones by Exhibit Concepts® trajectory with education projects and vision for the future. As a thought partner, Exploration Zones by Exhibit Concepts® listens to school district needs, co-develops goals and objectives, and designs innovative solutions to manage increases in student enrollment and improve instructional strategies. This collaboration leads to long-term partnerships and physical learning spaces for students that reflect the school and community culture and interests.
Exploration Zones by Exhibit Concepts® has been building partnerships and providing experiential learning classrooms for over 18 years. Most recently, Exploration Zones has recognized the growing need for educator professional development alongside classroom builds and new learning materials. Often, teachers and paraprofessionals are expected to teach in new classrooms and environments without the necessary support to shift mindset and acclimate to teaching using new theories and materials. With targeted professional development, educators can feel confident in using new instructional strategies and state-of-the-art technology that accompany experiential learning classrooms. Educator support is key to success and sustainability!
Exploration Zones by Exhibit Concepts® will continue to innovate, set new standards, and apply a systems-thinking approach to education projects. Children will always be at the forefront; it’s our commitment to provide research grounded, best practices that will challenge and grow our future innovators and leaders!
