Supporting faculty, students and community partners to understand and effectively use a newly designed or constructed school. The objective of educational commissioning is to provide all occupants with the necessary knowledge and pedagogies to use the school facility – including learning spaces and equipment – as optimally as possible for teaching and learning. Educational commissioning ideally involves professional development before, during, and after construction of new learning spaces.

The most important factors to successful educational planning are time and stakeholder engagement. Planning ideally starts early in the design process, even before an architect team arrives to begin design of a school building. The focus of educational planning is on student learning, pedagogy, and curriculum, which then informs the design of learning spaces to enable those. Working in partnership with a school community to envision innovation in educational programming involves a lot of listening and collaborative work. Listening to local needs, understanding school and community culture, and identifying opportunities in the context of global needs are key areas for collaboration. Working with educators to implement design thinking in their current spaces enables them to imagine different pedagogies, ways to engage students in active learning, and learning space needs. Enabling collaborative work among community and school members is critical to informing innovation and implementation of a school’s educational program in an updated building.

The process typically starts with a review of a school’s existing STEM programming and facilities. We then engage in collaborative conversations with community stakeholders, school faculty, and students about future goals, needs, and opportunities. This leads to engaging stakeholders in a visioning process, using examples of a variety of STEM programs, learning spaces, and activities to illustrate a variety of possibilities for the future. We then propose potential options that respond to community input and facilitate discussion to define a specific plan for the school. This results in articulating STEM program goals, key strategies, and learning space needs that will drive innovation in the school’s STEM program.
