School District Master Planning: The Teaching Supplement—a guide to the book of the same name—is designed for instructors of graduate level courses in school district demographics and facilities planning, as well as for school district administrators in need of a practical reference text. Discussing solutions to the main text's case situations and discussion questions, this supplement will enrich class discussions on school building programming and planning. Focusing on likely decision making paths, The Teaching Supplement explains an administrator's role from the beginning planning stages, to solving issues that have developed in real-life situations, and finally to a project's completion. Offering a variety of effective problem solving strategies to accompany the many helpful checklists in the main book, this book thoughtfully marries the main text, providing real-life examples of- and applications to school planning.

Kelley Carey has developed a very useful teaching guide as a companion to his book School District Master Planning: The Teaching Supplement. The book itself provides a number of case studies that can lead to lively classroom discussions to assist graduate students in gaining the knowledge and skills needed to understand and apply educational facility planning. The supplement restates each case and provides the instructor with additional information and suggested answers to the questions that follow them. In addition, the supplement provides information on useful websites and factors to consider in planning an individual school building.
