Wahluke School District

Wahluke School District will develop a Culturally Relevant Learning Commons for Wahluke High School and transform the currently unused library space into a learning commons. A recent survey informed the decision to focus on culturally relevant teaching and the design will be further honed through a series of focus groups with teachers and students. Librarians will provide instructional support to teachers on inquiry-based and culturally relevant teaching methods. Library hours will also be expanded to include time before and after school. The learning commons will include new technology and resources, flexible furniture, and collaborative spaces to support multi-modal communication, collaboration, and creativity.
