I am too often seeing reference to modern learning environments as if they are the critical key to improving learning. In my opinion they are not. It is the extent to which we can enable learners to take control (student efficacy) and the degree to which we can act as coaches/mentors and fellow learners that we will create improvement. We must be prepared to step outside the norm, but we have to be careful not to throw the baby out with the bathwater, and we must be careful to ensure that our practice is evidence informed. Teaching as Inquiry is critical to improvement.
