Vision Statement

Here, at long last, is a vision of what the Learning Commons should be:

The Learning Commons should be a place, both physical and virtual, that is open and accessible to learning. It should be where teachers, students and parents feel comfortable and have a sense of shared ownership for the learning that happens. It is a place of collaboration, where teachers and students meet, work, teach and learn together. The learning commons is still a library, where students access, read and borrow books, but it's also a place where students can come to work independently, and where multiple groups of users can co-exist. Flexibility of space and of attitude are key to the Learning Commons. The physical spaces should be customizable to meet the needs of a variety of users.
