Academic Facility
A growing body of research has found that school academic facilities can have a profound impact on both teacher and student outcomes. With respect to teachers, school academic facilities affect teacher recruitment, retention, commitment, and effort. With respect to students, school facilities affect health, behavior, engagement, learning, and growth in achievement. Facility quality is an important predictor of teacher retention and student learning. The physical and emotional health of students and teachers depend on the quality of the physical location, which makes establishing safe, healthy buildings essential.
