Facilities Condition Assessment and Facilities Master Plan

DNA of a Small Learning Community

Support the creation of Small Learning Communities within a campus.

A kit of parts of space types can construct a variety of configurations.  Given that many future projects will be renovations or modernizations, the use of these space types will help support SCUSD’s vision for future ready learning environments. The original buildings were based on the “factory model” of education with classrooms all the same size emphasizing lecture-based learning with the teacher doling out knowledge to be memorized. The space types listed below support the teachers’ ability to collaborate with each other and their students, acting as a “guide on the side” instead of a “sage on the stage”.
