Essentials in Good Planning

DETERMINE the type and approximate quantity of printed
 and audio-visual materials and equipment necessary to
implement your philosophy of a good school program.
 Plan quarters to meet the particular needs of your school
and community. This might include screens on the windows of
the materials center if it is to be used for night classes and out-
side entrances for adults and for convenient use by the com-
munity during summer programs.
 Plan a center large enough to fill the present and projected
demands for economical and convenient use.
 Remodel by adapting available space according to recommen-
dations for new buildings for the same type of school.
 Make every foot of space functional by determining relation-
ships of areas and type and placement of equipment.
 Involve, in all stages of planning, the County Supervisor of
Instructional Materials as well as the people who will use and
administer the particular materials center.
 Contact your Consultant in Instructional Materials, State
Department of Education, for help with problems in planning
and equipping materials centers.
