Performance Design Standards: An Essential Ingredient for Student Success
If the physical learning environment is not designed to address these basic human needs, then cognitive overload happens and learning shuts down. If measured, more than likely the design solutions of this physical place learning environment could have a significant impact on student underperformance. We can and must do better. Learners of all ages deserve to have the very best chance to learn. Raising awareness of and attainment of performance design standards in our schools will make an important that difference in addressing these underlying complexities.
