SAN DIEGO, CA -- Congratulations to Poway Unified School District’s Design39Campus for winning the Classroom of the Future Foundation's 2015 Innovate Award!

The award recognized the Design39 Campus, the district’s newest school, designed with the learner in mind. Students have a voice and choice in what they are learning. Instead of teachers, they have Learning Experience Designers (LEDs) who work collaboratively with each other and their students in flexible spaces. Educators from all over the country have been visiting the K-8 school, to see the innovative approach in person.

The award was presented to the district at a ceremony on May 20. It was the Foundation's 12th annual awards ceremony dinner, honoring all winners of the 2015 Innovation in Education Awards. The Poway Unified School District will receive a $5,000 cash award sponsored by EDmin.

Clayton Hoyle, Co-Founder of EDmin, Inc., which sponsored the award, said "it was great to see the district honored for bringing their plans to reality at a scale that will make a huge difference for the students who attend, as well as creating an inspiring example."

“Project-based learning, STEM programs, model classrooms and one-to-one initiatives are important innovations for educating our children with 21st-century technology,” said Bruce Braciszewski, Ph.D., executive director, Classroom of the Future Foundation. “Part of the awards event is creating a video profile of each honoree to stimulate other schools to follow these innovations. Congratulations to this year’s honorees for their leadership and significant achievements.”
