Any time a school decides to embark on a renovation or new construction, there will be change – and change can
be hard. Part of the process of change involves a vision at a project’s beginning. In this session, you will learn about change management, visioning, and how professional development and leadership is a key factor in facing the challenges of change. This session will examine a case study of Cherry Creek Schools in Colorado that is undergoing the monumental task of implementing staff development and physical space change and new furnishings across 52 elementary schools with four design teams over two summers.
Learning Objectives
OBJ #1 Gain an understanding of the theory of change management.
OBJ #2 Gain an understanding of the role of leadership during change.
OBJ #3 Learn about a process of site-based design engagement and concurrent staff development.
OBJ #4 Gain a practical understanding of how to introduce change across one district and 52 elementary schools.
