• In Event: From Rural to Urban: Examining the Effectiveness of Innovative School Forms

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the positive effects of employing the principles of practitioner inquiry as the methodology for collaborative school planning and design. This paper is an inquiry into the design phase of school creation from the perspective of a school design and creation team. The team set out to generate and document the use of protocols that enable the creation of a unified mission and vision and to develop an integrated school design based on these established purposes.
