As schools around the globe embrace Flexible Learning Environments, educators need practical ways to make learner-centered pedagogy come alive. We created the Pedagogical Plays to give teachers a shared language and ready-to-use strategies that foster autonomy, collaboration, and joyful learning.
In practice, Fielding International’s Pedagogical Plays are simple, flexible strategies teachers can plug into any subject or grade level. Each “play” includes clear steps, visual dot diagrams, and tips for implementation. For example, a teacher might run a SOLE (Self-Organized Learning Environment) to explore a big question, use a Must Do/Can Do Playlist to support personalized pacing, or launch a Choose Your Path activity to let students decide how they demonstrate their learning. These plays are especially powerful in Flexible Learning Environments, where space and pedagogy work together to bring learning alive. Teachers use them to plan with peers, offer structure without rigidity, and empower students to have greater choice, movement, and autonomy in their school experience.
The Pedagogical Plays are spreading through Fielding International’s partner schools in North America—and have global potential. As flexible learning environments gain popularity worldwide, educators are seeking practical tools to foster curiosity, independence, and adaptability. These simple, high-impact strategies are shared through professional learning and co-design. As word spreads, the Plays are proving to be a scalable, powerful way to bring spaces and pedagogy into harmony.y
