Co-designing Prototypes for Future Learning Spaces: A Field Guide for Scaling Future Learning Spaces Innovation in the Philippines
The purpose of this field guide is to introduce concepts, tools, and group activities that can be used to
guide educators in co-creating locally defined prototypes of future learning spaces that will not only
enhance social, emotional, and academic learning for all Filipino learners, but will ensure that learners
flourish and develop a sense of agency, proactive citizenship, and work readiness for a successful future.
The guide was created from selected content, exercises, and group processes that were introduced in the
Leaders in Futures of Education (LIFE) course (June 20–July 19, 2022) and the Prototyping Future Learning
Spaces Workshop (August 15–19 2022), which were attended by DepEd central office representatives,
representatives from three regional offices (i.e., Region III: Central Luzan; Region VI: Central Visayas;
and the Cordillera Administrative Region), and prototyping teams consisting of representatives from five
SDOs—Tanauan City, Tuguegarao City, Pasig City, Caloocan City, and Quezon City—and at least one
cooperating school in each SDO. This field guide provides a framework for DepEd partnerships across the
country to begin their prototyping journey for co-designing future learning spaces for Filipino students.
