Interior Design Teaching and Learning in Elementary and Secondary Education (K‐12)

Abstract

The quality and effectiveness of teaching and learning, measured through student assessment and qualifications, are publicized and compared against other nations ’ student achievements as indicators of the country's ability to compete successfully in a world market. The US Constitution mandates that the responsibility for public elementary and secondary education (K-12) resides with the states. In order to provide a context for understanding the place of interior design research and content in the K-12 environment, this chapter outlines three most recent national acts: (i) School-to-Work Opportunities Act (STW); (ii) No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB); and (iii) A Blueprint for Reform Act (Blueprint). These ever-changing education acts explain the moving target both teachers and school districts must respond to in an effort to remain viable, visible, and successful in securing federal funding to support their curricula and programs.
