2. What are the steps toward transformation? • Develop a philosophy/vision for the space (should include a focus on: “Why? How? & What?”) which involves deep involvement of school leadership. • Establish “alignment points” with existing District Curriculum models, District instructional practices, state standards, and national Common Core. • Gathering support by the creation of a building advocacy team. • Determine partnerships – total school community (parents, staff, students) • Design “how” this new focus will be communicated to the greater school community • What “data” is available that brings support for new “space” (student assessment, teacher performance & needs, student product or demonstration of learning, common core specifics, etc.”) • Determine how a “culture of inquiry” may be promoted. • Analyze the existing collection, then weed and acquire to meet state recommendations. • Conduct a “technology site review” to determine infrastructure needs. • Determine a final design for the space. • Establish timelines for technology, maintenance, FF&E completions. • Define the “skill set” for the facility management & how will staff support the ongoing promotion and development of site experiences. • Establish guidelines & timelines for staff/student training for new culture.
