Tasks of a Designer and Educator

One of the imaginative bridges that came to mind when reading coursework related to interior design is the task of the interior designer to “analyze the client's needs, goals, and life and safety requirements” (Saltzman). This could definitely fit as a main objective of an educator. It is our task to analyze the student’s needs, their goals, as well as ensure they have a safe environment both physically and emotionally. This objective for an interior designer relates to more of a physical space, however, for an educator this could apply to areas including physical, but also apply in planning upcoming lessons, ensuring that students needs are being met, particularly if they may have a learning disability, and ensuring their is respect so that students are able to have a positive experience feeling welcome to participate. Creating a compelling experience for the student encompasses each of these elements.
