ERS’ School Designer tool integrates districts’ planning and budgeting processes so that key resource decisions, including those related to a school’s schedule, staffing plan, and budget, are tightly aligned with its needs and improvement strategy. School Designer is a one-stop shop for school design, and includes:

• Guidance for each step in the school planning process
• Multimedia stories of innovative schools
• School artifacts—including collaborative planning time protocols, schedules, and more—that support strategic design practices
• Interactive tools to diagnose your school's needs, build a new master schedule, and more
