Design teams spend months (sometimes years) creating learning environments that support student success. But once those spaces are in use, how often do we actually measure what’s working? This interactive workshop introduces a practical, evidence-based approach to Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) tailored for K–12 schools. Using the CAUSE Coalition’s open-access POE framework, attendees will learn how simple, survey-based tools can capture both human outcomes, like belonging, engagement, and teacher efficacy, and the real-world spatial experience. Through a hands-on “POE sprint,” participants will:
● Identify the right questions for a project
● Learn how to interpret results
● Turn findings into actionable design and operational insights
We’ll close by exploring how POE can strengthen future designs, support accountability, and build a repeatable feedback loop that benefits students, educators, designers, and districts alike.
Attendees will leave with a clear, practical playbook for integrating POE into their K–12 projects without needing a research background.
