Transparency

The notion of Transparency includes the creation of visual connections between formal and informal learning areas, allowing students to gain a passive awareness of the learning taking place around them. It helps to direct their own learning, and navigate the curriculum by provide an opportunity to observe other learners in the process of learning.

Spaces can be designed to promote transparency, using lots of glass to reinforce the openness and the relationships of staff and students. Each member of the learning community can see what everyone else is doing. The transparency also reflects an open door policy where nothing is hidden. This notion is for everyone, including parents. It is open and welcoming as they walk around the schools and through the different learning spaces.
