What is the ECLPS DIFFERENCE?
ECLPS is a professional designation that recognizes professionals who have demonstrated competency in the development of learning ecosystems and space design strategies. The ECLPS Certification Program focuses on mastering core competencies in how we learn, how learning processes impact that learning, and how both concepts are critical to developing informed/intentional design solutions. Under the direction of Dr. Lennie Scott-Webber, ECLPS is embedded with research-based, design decision-making protocols from envisioning, planning, generating and implementing solutions that lead to measurable improvement to student outcomes. Each cource consists of presentations augmented by experts in the field who have a wealth of experience and are willing to share their personal stories.
The ECLPS Program is a game changer for those that truly understand that learning environment and culture are crucial for student and teacher success. This program is for the changemakers in the industry that have a vision for schools, culture, and design.
