Lab Participants Fulton County School District and Cooperative Strategies would like to extend a special appreciation to the lab participants. The lab participants represent a broad cross section of the school community including teachers, administrative staff, parents, and community members. The lab participants had the important task of developing the Educational Specifications for the North STEM High School.

The lab participants were responsible for examining future trends that will impact educational facilities and creating the educational specifications to help guide the District's future construction of the North STEM High School. A major focus of the work was to determine the educational facility requirements to meet the needs of the 21st Century learner.

Curriculum Leaders Interviews Summary

NORTH STEM HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS MAY 2017

Interviews with curriculum leaders from across the District occurred February 14 to understand curriculum delivery, facility use, and needs. These conversations occurred in one hour increments to delve deeply into the current program and potential vision for future curriculum and facility implications. Participants were asked some beginning visioning questions that helped "prime the pump" for the conversations that will continue throughout this process.

Because of these conversations, draft documents were developed to share during Planning Lab 1 on March 16 & 17, such as a draft compilation of space, draft agenda, program area description documents, and presentation. Participants were also encouraged to talk with colleagues before Planning Lab 1 and bring those ideas to Planning Lab 1. Participants at Planning Lab 1 further refined these documents.

These curriculum leader interviews helped facilitate discussion across all disciplines and created a cohesive draft of standards which was further refined in Planning Lab 2.
