STep four: Design
- Create a basic floor plan for your school. You might use large charts that you hang on the wall or an online floor plan creator such as Room Sketcher or Planning Wiz. A drawing tool such as Sketch Up is another option.
- Label each area.
- In two specific spaces in the building, list the activities that will occur there and how those activities support the principles of your teaching practice.
- Consult the School Plan Checklist to make sure you are reaching all requirements.
- NOTE - Don't worry if you run out of time before you can complete a thorough plan.
- Share your plan and philosophy with the entire group. Make sure you explain how your school design supports the activities that will occur there.
