The University of St. Thomas and St. Paul Public Schools partnered to design a district-operated “lab school” that incorporates promising practices for addressing the needs of all students while also prioritizing a focus on preparing and developing effective teachers. The design of this school incorporated a shared vision for K12 curriculum and teacher preparation. Education First led a multi-pronged user-centered design approach, engaged stakeholders and conducted research to develop a strategic plan that guided and informed the school’s design.
