Educational Trends Shaping School Planning and Design : 2007 National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities
نویسنده
چکیده
This publication, like its predecessor, examines educational trends potentially influencing the planning and design of school facilities. Although we can’t know exactly how such trends might play out in the future, their thoughtful consideration during the planning and design process could have a profound effect on how successfully a new or renovated school will perform over its useful life. The trends were identified by reviewing the latest research on school facilities and student outcomes; current issues, problems, and initiatives in the educational field; emerging demographic patterns; and my previous work on this subject (Stevenson, 2002).
