Abstract: In 2009, The University of Iowa College of Education conducted a national survey about administrators’ vision of Teachers of the Future. This survey was shared at SITTE 2009 in Charleston. What’s come of that survey? Welcome to Trading Spaces in the TLC.We’re not talking about the TV channel, we’re talking about the new UI Teacher Leader Center. We’re not doing two rooms, in 48 hours, with a thousand bucks. Our renovation has involved nearly 8,000 sq. ft., over a period of 12 months, at a cost of $250,000. The facility boasts a learning commons, virtual reality station, SMART Technologies, iPods/iPads for online/classroom learning, assistive tech and a crew of staff/faculty to “remodel” the way we engage students in new technology, student services, and community building. Come see the “Reveal” of our version of creating better spaces to engage students in 21st Century Teaching and Learning.

Presider: R. Lester Walsh, Valley City State University
