Overview

The Active Learning Center Grant invests in visionary educators and educational institutions that promote the advancement of active learning. As a grantmaker, Steelcase Education seeks to identify and support leading educators and educational institutions looking to implement and expand active learning initiatives by leveraging physical learning space. We are interested in understanding how pedagogy, technology and the built environment can work together as a holistic ecosystem to support active learning. Annually, up to 16 grants are awarded to classrooms for grades 6 – 12 or within a college or university, and located in the United States, U.S. Territories, Puerto Rico, Canada or Mexico. The grant provides one active learning classroom, including furniture, design review, installation, onsite training and access to our Learning Environment Evaluation measurement tool. Grant recipients choose from four types of classrooms designed for up to 30 students, valued at $67,000. Grant recipients agree to provide sufficient dedicated space, participate in Steelcase training onsite at the recipient institution, and conduct and share research over a two-year period. Research: Conduct research to answer the general questions: What impact does the new Active Learning Center have on supporting your desired pedagogy, teaching, learning and student success? Why? This research should be conducted with the design and methods of the grantee’s choosing in addition to the Learning Environment Evaluation measurement tool administered by Steelcase.
