{"pk":48137,"title":"Can Architects Help Transform Public Education? What the Sarasota County Civic School Building Program (1955-1960) Teaches Us","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The Sarasota County School Building Program 1955-1960 is revisited through a detailed examination of how architects and educators collaborated to design an innovative group of public schools that provided opportunities for the transformation of learning space. This multi-dimensioned examination is grounded in an historical contextualization of the school building program; in visual and discursive archival analysis related to four of the schools considered especially notable; and in the integration of contemporary voices of some of the teachers, students, and educational employees who worked in these schools. A concluding section discusses four key lessons of this artistic-educational collaboration that might be fruitful for educators to ponder as they seek to create the kinds of learning environments that optimize students’ educational experience.","language":"en","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Public School Architecture, Sarasota School Architecture, Civic Engagement, Creating New Schools for New Learning"},{"word":"Architectural History and Criticism"},{"word":"Economics"}],"section":"Teaching and Learning through the Arts","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1479d3wp","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Nicholas","middle_name":"B.","last_name":"Paley","name_suffix":"","institution":"George Washington University","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2011-02-04T23:25:21+01:00","date_accepted":"2011-02-04T23:25:21+01:00","date_published":"2013-07-17T02:23:42+02:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cla_jlta/article/48137/galley/36268/download/"}]}
