Learning Environments, Evaluation & Design (Leed)

• Programs are designed to educate community members for empowerment in areas of immigrant concerns, civil rights advocacy, environmental justice challenges and learning environment design
• Community-based learning centers for immigrants and other low-income communities can provide mentoring and “training the trainer” strategies through online or in-person classroom training
• PEHKA can assist in visioning, design of facilities, classrooms, and online learning environments, and creating healthy and sustainable schools to support learner-centered education
• Evidence-based design and practice, post-occupancy evaluations, and other context-specific activities are used to assess the quality and needs of the learning environment and to move to process implementation

Activities of PEHKA include:

• Workshops to demonstrate the important relationships between classroom design and learning activities
• Partnering to educate immigrant families on environmental health issues and tenants’ rights
• Mentoring ethnic and underrepresented students to excel in higher education
• Interpreting legal and medical communications for low-income households
