Theschool system integration provides a consistent platform for the GOAL programming whichensures longevity of the program and its ability to reach intended audiences. Post launch, therehas been interest from other school systems to utilize GOAL, but logistics of implementation(e.g., disconnection between administrators and in-classroom implementers) creates a lot ofinertia toward getting relationships started. This factor has kept collaborations from expanding tothe scale of PGCPS or MCPS. While the COVID pandemic created a lot of chaos, it alsoprovided a unique opportunity where action was necessary.

However, planning and integration of materials by the instructor can increase thisconnection and improve learning opportunities. In order to be most effective, construction sitetours need to have a clearly defined purpose, directly relate to the curriculum and communicateinformation effectively. These goals are difficult to accomplish if the faculty member is notdirectly involved in the planning and guidance of the tour. Too often faculty members feeluncertain about the site conditions or design experience, and therefore place the responsibility ona construction manager or alumni to develop the
