Jolene Levin
K-12 Education ConsultantJolene Levin is a leading voice in evidence-informed educational design, known for her work transforming learning environments across Australia and the United States. Beginning her career in 2014, she and her husband pioneered innovative spatial and product solutions that supported schools and universities shifting to more collaborative, student-centered models. After relocating to Dallas in 2017, Jolene became a trusted advisor to districts nationwide, helping them design inclusive, high-performing spaces grounded in the science of learning. Her work continues through her consulting practice, where she partners with organizations to drive category growth, develop research-aligned solutions, and elevate the learner experience.
A respected industry leader, Jolene serves on multiple national advisory committees, including B.R.I.D.G.E.S., a coalition advancing evidence-informed learning place design, and Design R.E.A.D.Y., a superintendent-focused council developing implementation strategies aligned with pedagogy and user needs. She is Past Chair of EDmarket and a Core Instructor for the ECLPS Certification program. In 2025, Jolene received the David McCurrach Award at EDspaces, recognizing her contributions to innovation, equity, and the future of learning environments. A sought-after speaker, moderator, and author, she continues to influence the field as host of the Bold Women Collective Podcast and a presenter at EDspaces, EDUtalk, and AASA—championing design that helps every learner thrive.

…Education is not short on ideas — it is short on aligned action and honest conversation. “Colleagues of the Round Table” is a live, participatory forum designed to surface the real conversations education leaders need but rarely have in public settings. This session dissolves the traditional boundary between panel and audience, inviting participants into a structured experience of peer-to-peer dialogue, challenge, and debate.
Using pre-session input from attendees, the session centers on authentic tensions shaping future-ready learning: innovation versus accountability, AI acceleration versus instructional readiness, and student well-being versus performance pressures. Participants engage in facilitated roundtable discussions, followed by cross-table exchanges that disrupt echo chambers and broaden perspective.
Structured debate protocols guide participants through positioning, evidence-building, counterargument, and perspective-shifting, ensuring rigor and equity of voice. Rather than seeking premature consensus, the session prioritizes clarity — helping leaders identify what they believe, where tensions persist, and what that means for action. Leave with a co-developed Future-Ready Learning Blueprint, including design principles, priority tensions, and immediate next steps. More importantly, they leave with sharper thinking, grounded in the collective intelligence of their peers.
Limited capacity. RSVP required.

…Amid the rapid rise of AI, this session rethinks what defines an optimal learning ecosystem. This new “horizon” calls for a new language to describe where and how learning happens. As spatial taxonomies evolve, so too must our approach to design—shifting from prescriptive solutions to performance‑driven environments that adapt in real time to learner needs. Participants will leave with a fresh framework for understanding how learning environments, powered by AI, can unlock new possibilities for student agency, educator impact, and systemic equity.
