Consultant <\/em>with <a title=\"Fielding Nair web site\" href=\"http:\/\/fieldingnair.com\" target=\"_blank\">Fielding Nair International<\/a>. Fielding Nair (FNI) is widely heralded as the best school design and architecture firm in the world. FNI does not just build boxes for children, they view their mission as &#8220;Change Agents for Education.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Three years ago, I met FNI partner <a title=\"Prakash bio\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fieldingnair.com\/index.php\/resume#Prakash_Nair\" target=\"_blank\">Prakash Nair<\/a> at the first <a title=\"Educon 2.3\" href=\"http:\/\/educon23.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Educon<\/a> and was blown away by his passion for progress and knowledge of learning theory. I rarely meet education scholars who know as much about the history of school reform or how learning occurs as Prakash does.<\/p>\n<p>I am quite fortunate in that my work takes me to public, private, charter and international schools around the world. I work in hundred year-old buildings and brand new schools. One of my clients is a brand new 500,000 square feet international school. I am often amazed by how new schools continue to be constructed ignoring all of the lessons of the past and doing little to prepare for the future of learning.<\/p>\n<p>Spend some time watching the <a title=\"Videos\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fieldingnair.com\/index.php\/video\" target=\"_blank\">videos<\/a> of Fielding Nair&#8217;s work or tour some of their design projects and you are sure to be impressed. It&#8217;s an honor to join old friends and respected educators, like Dr. Stephen Heppell, on the FNI team. I look forward to helping them change the world for kids.<\/p>\n<p>My (excessively long) <a title=\"My bio\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fieldingnair.com\/index.php\/resume#Gary_Stager\" target=\"_blank\">bio<\/a> from the site may be found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fieldingnair.com\/index.php\/resume#Gary_Stager\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am enormously pleased to share some great news.
