BREAKING WITH THE PAST: EMBRACING DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN EDUCATION

The nation’s learners can’t wait for many more tomorrows to come and go without
a broad national commitment to breaking the outmoded framework for American
education and replacing it with frameworks that are more learner-centered,
personalized, and effective. Digital technologies applied skillfully to teaching
and learning might deliver on that possibility at long last.

Jean-Claude Brizard, Digital Promise




CTE DESIGN: CAPTURING CURIOSITY 

Many schools are the epicenter of a sustainable workforce and resilient
community. Skilled workforce shortages have heightened the need to attract,
educate, and train the next generation of electricians, carpenters, machinists,
skilled operators, and healthcare professionals — just a few of the high-paying
and rewarding careers that students may be overlooking.  

Katie Becker, AIA, NCARB, LEED Green Assoc., JLG Architects



FUNCTIONAL DESIGN, MEASURED LEARNING: LINKING SPACE TO EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES
THROUGH EVALUATION

Post occupancy evaluations (POEs) are design research studies that evaluate the
performance of built projects, and they are not new to K-12 learning
environments. Even though we often design school environments with innovative
pedagogies in mind, we rarely evaluate our learning spaces with an eye toward
how design interventions truly support teaching and learning strategies.

Dr. Renae Mantooth, WELL AP, HKS

FROM DATA TO DESIGN: HOW RESEARCH IMPACTS SCHOOL LIBRARY RENOVATIONS

Two years ago, Legat Architects started a research-driven design process to
explore how renovations would impact the feel and functionality of library
spaces at Whittier (Wheaton, IL) and Johnson (Warrenville, IL) elementary
schools. Community Unit School District 200 challenged the team to not only
achieve equity between the libraries but also make the spaces adaptable to the
changing needs of the student populations.

Kelsey Jordan, Legat Architects



FURNISHING ENGAGEMENT: HOW NEW CLASSROOM FURNITURE CAN ENHANCE LEARNING

Enhancing student engagement doesn't always require sweeping changes or costly
renovations. As we've seen from the survey results, the right furniture can
significantly improve student well-being, comfort, and collaboration, leading to
greater excitement and participation in the classroom. 

Emily McGinnis, KI  |  Jonathan (Juan) Matta, KI



CONNECTING STUDENTS TO A COMMUNITY THROUGH THE POWER OF CAREER PATHWAY EDUCATION

Career and Technical Education (CTE) spaces are more than just classrooms: they
are gateways to future careers, designed to align with community needs and
resources. It’s critical to work with local stakeholders when designing learning
environments that support programs tailored to the community. In Colorado’s
Sheridan School District, administrators sought to provide an alternate
education pathway to students who could benefit from a career-oriented approach
to secondary education.

Job Gutierrez, AIA, LEED AP, Wold



THE DECORATION ARMS RACE IN ELEMENTARY CLASSROOMS

We encourage educators to use their time and resources wisely — invest in your
students, your curriculum and your relationships. If you do feel the inclination
to share on social media, share how your classroom is built, decorated and
designed for efficiency, student independence, and flexibility.  Encourage other
educators to break the pattern of decoration perfection in pursuit of a
classroom environment that perfectly meets the needs of your students.

Ellen Moskowitz  |  Robert Dillon



HOW SMART SCHOOL DESIGN PROMOTES TEACHER WELLNESS

As schools continue to innovate and evolve, teachers work tirelessly to address
learning gaps, manage a rise in behavioral challenges, and meet the increasing
social-emotional needs of their students — all while balancing their own
well-being. Supporting the mental health and wellness of educators is crucial to
maintaining a healthy and productive learning environment for everyone.

Sue Ann Highland, PhD
