Design thinking prompts students to consider: "I’ve learned it. Now what am I going to do with it?"
In Designed to Learn, you’ll learn to support students as they implement five elements of design thinking: understand and empathize, identify and research, communicate to ideate, prototype and test, and iterate and reflect. You will learn how to support students as they:
Use the content you teach to solve a problem in their community or in the world around them.
Isolate a concern for their designed solution to address.
Communicate ideas and provide valid reasoning for potential solutions.
Prototype a solution and test it.
Revise their design for maximum impact and reflect on the process.
Equipped with the strategies and supports in Designed to Learn, teachers will be able to ensure that learning in their classrooms is visible, student-centered, and measurable—by design.
