Framework for Expanding K-12 Engagement

The purpose of this document is to guide institutions looking to initiate or expand their K-12 engagement. By setting up an inquiry based approach, this document examines the obstacles and opportunities that must be considered in the pre-college architecture engagement. The following considerations, questions, and resources are intended to provide a framework for architecture schools to formulate their investigation into the appropriate mode of K-12 engagement, based on their individual situations and goals. Rather than provide a step-by-step set of instructions for setting up a K-12 program, this guide seeks to establish a line of inquiry for stakeholders with various roles within an institution (Administrators, Faculty, Staff, etc…) to investigate the many ways of engaging K-12 students
