The Facilities Division has been leading the way in transforming DoDEAs schools into cutting edge 21st Century facilities that directly support and enhance how education is delivered to the children of our military families. In 2011, Facilities partnered with DoDEA Education and a team of subject matter experts from across the US and around the world to research and document the best approaches to teaching and learning in the 21st Century. In tandem, Facilities researched and documented the most ideal ways to be build spaces and deploy infrastructure to facilitate 21st Century education.
