What sticky questions are big enough that we need to really empathize with more than our own viewpoint? How can we work together to make that idea grow into possibilities that can lead to increased value in our schools, our classrooms, and our communities?
If you’ve ever asked, “How can I…..,” check out the potential of design thinking. Ready. Set. Go. We can solve this…together.
We had a great discussion at the FIRST design thinking chat, held on 4/20/2016. Take a group of educators that combined high-poverty schools, teachers from NY, FL, IA, and CO, and a Guest who was observing and start asking questions. Here’s what happened. Special thanks to Josef, Tina, Ryan, Lori, Marcia, and Molly for their bravery on this first round.
Starting Point: What is design thinking and how is it used?
Gut check: Are you uncreative or creative?
