For more than a decade co-creation has been pushing innovation in the private sector by seeking to understand users’ experiences before partnering with those same users to accelerate innovation, shift paradigms, and cultivate buy-in. This presentation will take a closer look at the principles of co-creation within the framework of school planning and design with an emphasis on the end-user. Attendees will explore a renewed process that seeks to recast expectations and put the needs of learners, educators, and the community at the forefront of process. Presenters will share lessons learned from projects in which students, educators, and members of communities were involved in developing new, innovative, shared outcomes leading to pioneering solutions in the communities they serve.
Learning Objectives
OBJ #1 Understand what is meant by “co-creation.”
OBJ #2 Understand the guiding principles of co-creation within the framework of school planning and design. OBJ #3 Examine case-studies to understand when co-creation is applicable.
OBJ #4 Develop new strategies for collaboration and facilitation.
A District’s Journey in Project-Based Learning
Karen Montovino, AIA, ALEP, Principal, DLR Group / Tim Ganey, AIA, ALEP, LEED AP, Architect and Senior Designer, Principal, DLR Group / Jeff Snell, Ed.D., Superintendent, Camas School District / Aaron Smith, Principal, Discovery High School & Odyssey Middle School, Camas School District / Harbor / AIA CEU: 1. 0 LU / Primary Core Competencies: Educational Visioning / Secondary Core Competencies: Design of Educational Facilities
How do you shape a vision for Project-Based Learning while simultaneously implementing it? This was the situation that Camas School District was in while taking steps to alleviate overcrowding through personalized, relevant learning. Located in a one-high school town in an urban suburb with high expectations for quality education, the District embarked on a path that would involve a new pedagogical model focused solely on project-based learning
at the secondary level. This journey, in creating one the nation’s first ground-up project-based learning high schools, will be shared from the District perspective (including the student voice), and the architecture and planning firm
who supported the District throughout the process. The response of the community, challenges of implanting new curriculum, and tips for other districts considering a shift will be shared in this insightful session. Initial results of this project-based pedagogy will be shared from the high school’s first full year of school in a new facility, as well as the middle school’s third year in a non-traditional facility adapted by a modest renovation.
Learning Objectives
OBJ #1 Hearing a case study that embodies a district-wide exploration in pedagogy, attendees will be able to identify the steps it takes to shift learning and develop an implementation strategy.
OBJ #2 Attendees will discover what level of community buy-in and participation is recommended to take a District in a new pedagogical direction, and how to anticipate potential pitfalls.
