Hey -Elem. Asst. Principal from east side of Columbus, OH. Super excited to learn with you!
Ready to chat about all types of design in ed
Hey there, friends! Kevin from Monterey. First full day of the school year in the books...!
architecture and steam teacher at Scarsdale high school. Design thinking and making and teachers guild!
Mary in the ATL a design thinker EDU kinda gal Going 2 try 2 stay live w/ 4 next hour
Hello. Gary near Philadelphia. Spent day getting rid of my teacher desk! Simplify, Simplify, Simplify! (Eng. Teacher in me)
Dan Ryder, Eng T, design thinker, improviser, in Farmington, ME; happy to be back in the flow https://t.co/ouexWkY05Q
Awesome! Space is one of my second fav topics! Way to take the leap!
First DT Design Challenge tomorrow with my innovation class!
What are you all getting into...? https://t.co/1bIQAswTKS
First DT Design Challenge tomorrow with my innovation class!
Hola - Bryan from Dayton :)
Q1 in just a minute! Excited to be together again
It's freaking liberating! Also: I found a home for all my crap in the unused lockers outside my classroom
Plant a flag so they know it's yours.
I spent 2 yrs No Desk oh wait No office or space either hmmm…
Right now on we are abt to talk fueled relationship building https://t.co/ZXLUMt6Bu1
Q1 in just a minute! Excited to be together again
Third grade teacher from the home of !
A1: One of my fav quotes from "DT is optimistic in nature"...I totally use in all my DT PD stuff:)
A1 Inviting creative connections, surprise collaborations - unforeseen friendships.
A1: w/ empathy playing such a big role in dt, there are many opp to learn about each other & other POVs
I spent last year at stnding desk built on my tchr desk with Ency. Britanicas as risers! https://t.co/2R0vAlYoh0
Plant a flag so they know it's yours.
Q1 it gets students to really collaborate and gets them to empathize w their user...
I'll gladly take what love I can get. ;)
Sorry I'm late. James from the ATL reporting to chat
Wahoooo!!!! Welcome to this brave risk taker! She just did a total redesign in her clasrm 2 help promote DT & innov.
allows 4 multiple opportunities 4 kids and adults to look at a problem and find design solutions, amazing https://t.co/BJQOp8GkhE
A1: Exercises where Ss show each other their sims and diffs in a safe environ leads to openness to experiment with ideas.
A1: Today I had a great talk about compromise with a struggling group...they learned a lot!
A1: It gets people listening to receive - not to respond.
Listening is a difficult skill. Best to tackle early so we can move bigger mountains!
A1 catches them offguard on day 1. Not just listening--DOING! I'm ready w/ ready set design from CooperHewitt & Extraordinaires
A1 active & heard voices DT= Users + Empathy (or its not ) Abt the End Users, NOT self, collaboration, UpFront
A1 it creates an environment that all students can share, it allows students to create the paths and it causes people take action
A1 Establishing fueled user centred prob solving as cultural norm, focuses value on others POV https://t.co/HxNPFDmJ5x
A1: DT gives everyone a voice, slows the process down, creates space for divergent thinking +
a culture of listening w the whole body to better understand POV https://t.co/LDpo6jxU8O
A1: It gets people listening to receive - not to respond.
A1 encounters with "The Other." Empathy...like how my german g-mom would watch people so intently when too tired to walk the mall
Q1: Transparent process. Empathy, learn about others. Be playful, vulnerable
A1 Everyone focused on a common goal and solving a problem together. Allows voice, choice, creative thinking.
Well if that doesn't deserve a I'm not sure what does! Well played! https://t.co/gZewVSr47w
Wahoooo!!!! Welcome to this brave risk taker! She just did a total redesign in her clasrm 2 help promote DT & innov.
Woah - out of the gate with a ! LOVE IT. Thank you :D
all about problem finders, no longer can we just say b/c it's for future, design thinking makes it meaningful
Love that -- giving students the tools of process. https://t.co/bAabw3SdS4
Q1: Transparent process. Empathy, learn about others. Be playful, vulnerable
Hey ! Jumping in late, but glad to join! Signing in from PA. I'm a math teacher dipping my toes into DT.
I remind my mom about this one.
I always promote depth, relationships over breadth and "covering all chapters."
empathy for the design process, how did they come to that plan?? all about deeper levels of meaing https://t.co/oKC5306Tas
Love that -- giving students the tools of process. https://t.co/bAabw3SdS4
Q1: Transparent process. Empathy, learn about others. Be playful, vulnerable
I think that initial business card buzz might have worn off a little. ;)
welcome to You R never late to Open 24/7 always on time :)
welcome to You R never late to Open 24/7 always on time :)
This is a fantastic place to jump in the deep end
Moment of technical difficulty... Q2: How have you (or will you) use to get to know your Ss?
Problem Finders, is my new title instead of little designers
Hi there -we don't have the bedtime routine down here with the new school year, but popping in to say hello...
We got some Mods in da House
A2 The improv pieces interwoven offer some great team building experiences. Community building, cross culture pollinating.
Problem finders is a new term to me recently but LOVE it! https://t.co/bqo4bXhlXH
Problem Finders, is my new title instead of little designers
I know a school that “branded” the name Solution Seekers
Love that! Do you know ? Must connect! She’s proposing a session on math & DT https://t.co/fG350HuXcT
Hey ! Jumping in late, but glad to join! Signing in from PA. I'm a math teacher dipping my toes into DT.
A2: Ss jumping into design thinking challenges--we get to know each other as learners & build trust in meaningful ways
A2 watching them work as a team allows me to see their true selves-strengths and weaknesses
A2 Today's pop-up maker station at lower grade recess - a first for us: "HMW invent a ______ for a new student?"
A2 thru process students reveal their native talents and willingness (or not) to struggle https://t.co/atshRIgeJF
Moment of technical difficulty... Q2: How have you (or will you) use to get to know your Ss?
A1: when you have to listen to each other and work together, you get to know each other much faster than in a traditional class
I can imagine your boys are still in summer mode thx 4 popping in2 https://t.co/amcx6acq1U
Hi there -we don't have the bedtime routine down here with the new school year, but popping in to say hello...
A2: First day, "come over here" activity. people move about and cluster into groups of likeness, celebrate odd ones out as GOOD.
Quite a lively discussion of to grow classroom culture on right now join us!
Empathy interviews on difficulty understanding AP Calc-ideating better ways to learn-prototyping new tools for learning. TEAMING
It's been a while since I've been able to log in but glad to be here again!
A2 co-teacher & I demoed empathy interview 1st and then has Ss interview each other & share with class
A2: my favorite method for that is "what's on your radar" and prototyping products for a partner https://t.co/OOzkx9Z3Lo
tell me about those toe dippings; would love to hear what you are trying out
and I did this last year. It was a total ah-ha for kids to see raw Ts beg. year worries. https://t.co/wTSonPg7BI
A2 co-teacher & I demoed empathy interview 1st and then has Ss interview each other & share with class
A2 --not DT as whole, but parts/skills building in early days--Socratic Discussions to actively listen and ask questions is an ex.
Eric! Great to ‘see’ you! https://t.co/ydkR7PkEld
A2: First day, "come over here" activity. people move about and cluster into groups of likeness, celebrate odd ones out as GOOD.
We started K & 5th grade here at casa Juli-lots of uproar to the schedule. In other news I'm loving all your pics!
A2 utilizing N classroom is an automatic “get 2 know your students” better deeper more greater Its the Process
A into DT challenge can help us see how students work together but also provides a teambuilding opportunity for Ss
YESS!! Using framework of interviews is fantastic appl of DT to classes https://t.co/R9eoeAFZJr
Empathy interviews on difficulty understanding AP Calc-ideating better ways to learn-prototyping new tools for learning. TEAMING
A2: I love watching their personalities shine and leaders emerge!
A2 Ssprototyped logo represent self educators to provide feedback & now students creating 2nd prototype https://t.co/sPfDPgO5dQ
Really ??? I would love to connect ! Look forward to learning about your approach to math + DT.
also did a summer book share where everyone makes a representation of the book rather than just talk about it.
A3: Again, bringing up the improv ingredient - when you can't be wrong, why not try?
Moving outside of the math classroom for the first time to team teach Social Entrepreneurship
love this focus on ; need finding & solution delivery for OTHERS https://t.co/NhcrxRDedo
A2 Today's pop-up maker station at lower grade recess - a first for us: "HMW invent a ______ for a new student?"
A3: DT is all abt. interation which means you fail and try again...and again.
W/ a focus on iteration, Ss don't need to be perfect the 1st or 15th time--allows them to dig deeper & take risks
empower Ss to solve probs/make solutions w things that matter to them -outdoor classroom from https://t.co/s1LcdHREXK
Sorry I'm late ! I miss y'all! Playing catch up & creepin' tonight...
A3 It's all about risk. No known solution, no right answer, Ok to be wrong and try again. Risk to share ideas.
Diving right into difficult challenges w safety nets in place is fantastic for building trust w purpose https://t.co/CszmRmnjeJ
A2: Ss jumping into design thinking challenges--we get to know each other as learners & build trust in meaningful ways
A3 Come to anticipate and even revel in the "a-ha!" iteration move. De-fanging academic competition.
Yes! Failing is a step in the learning cycle (says me).
A3 as the educator it allows you to take a risk and allow students, other Ts, Admin & others to give feedback for the next step
The connections they be mighty, the tribes they be growing, the networks they be impressive on https://t.co/Cm8FS6vCst
Love that! Do you know ? Must connect! She’s proposing a session on math & DT https://t.co/fG350HuXcT
Hey ! Jumping in late, but glad to join! Signing in from PA. I'm a math teacher dipping my toes into DT.
A3: Improv… playful way 2 embody risk-taking & vulnerability w/low stakes & builds on other DT/innovator mindsets
Hey all! Getting back in the groove, school hasn't started in NYC yet!
A3: The posture of "yes, and" and multiple prototypes encourage risk taking
A3: design thinking is the framework that builds our mindsets.. ..Builds resilience, perseverance etc https://t.co/Wgj0OUoiBf
We had t's designing to get a ball from 2nd floor 2 1st in > 15 secs-lots of risk in collaboration https://t.co/XyeOQ8NekX
A3: giving the time to iterate when something goes awry. try and try again becomes the norm.
Ss need to see Ts taking risks 2 and sharing abt it. This is what DT is all abt. User focused, not a plan. https://t.co/XZx48EWKxr
A3 as the educator it allows you to take a risk and allow students, other Ts, Admin & others to give feedback for the next step
A3: The iterative & prototyping aspects of foster risk taking.
is now trending in USA, ranking 50
Love it-Trust w/ purpose-often S "get to know" Ss on a superficial/nontrust level-- dt forces real relationships
Sure! I’d love to hear more about how people are using DT in math.
A3 if doing DT=User+Empathy the risks evaporate User Leads, design follows Risk stems from judgement & fear right? No space 4that
I know, RIGHT?! Long time, friend!
A3 when Ts take risk and are transparent about their personal Mess ups. It gives Ss permission to mess up too
TY, 7 teams tackled community projects led by awesome Ts team!
Failing, reflecting, & trying again-- so important
Hiya!! How's life on the west side?
Hoping to use in more in the new Calculus course I am designing. First year running it! Should be a fun adventure.
Yes and yes and yes!! https://t.co/k8NALSrcNX
A3 when Ts take risk and are transparent about their personal Mess ups. It gives Ss permission to mess up too
Aye! Fail early, fail often.
A3: Also if you know going into it that revision is going to happen, risk comes easier.
In fact, the new Calc course is based off empathy interviews of past students.
Power of video to inspire new approaches to problem solving & team building worthy of a https://t.co/iwLhHlN2Wf
We had t's designing to get a ball from 2nd floor 2 1st in > 15 secs-lots of risk in collaboration https://t.co/XyeOQ8NekX
Yaaaaas! "Hey, teacher-friends. School can actually BE like this" message = my favorite. https://t.co/dvdablWIQH
We had t's designing to get a ball from 2nd floor 2 1st in > 15 secs-lots of risk in collaboration https://t.co/XyeOQ8NekX
Sunny and dry. How about out your way?
A3 iterative cycle and emphasis on process makes failure a learning tool.
one of the most important things we as Ts can do is highlight & accept our own mistakes in front of Ss
Plug for my as well! Finding the Why
One of my favorite projects my students have done...interactive slopefield. Next step...mirrors and bending the light!
Wow-I hop back in and I'm already Boomshakalaka worthy? I'm blushing...
"The posture of " -- LOVE this way to think about mindset in DT https://t.co/7aAfcUzCl0
A3: The posture of "yes, and" and multiple prototypes encourage risk taking
Ss went way beyond comfort zones and helped lead community design sessions on re-imagining abandoned lots https://t.co/a2XRGkqEVA
Yes, and...personal risk to participate in process, we need to help Ss overcome personal judgement.
So important! Yes, Ts r actually humans. I am very human & make A LOT of mistakes
SO hard for my Ss to adjust to this mindset. Talked 'em through it just today - they REALLY didn't believe me.
Lemme AT this learn-alongside goodness. https://t.co/bq6GGhJOvL
A3 when Ts take risk and are transparent about their personal Mess ups. It gives Ss permission to mess up too
At the end of the session, the teachers wouldn't stop redesigning!
I will definitely reach out! Would love to talk about the new class I'm creating! Need insight.
Michael!!! Hey!! I’m really good at making mistakes in front of my Ss. ;) ;)
Finally some breezes to take it from 90s to 80s ;-) BUSY for just a few days into the school year, but no complaints!
Dude. We are baby-stepping our way towards that here, on a tiny scale. Would love to glean wisdom https://t.co/FtMyFdQI0P
TY, 7 teams tackled community projects led by awesome Ts team!
A4 Bias towards Action Stop Talking more Empathizing, Doing, Testing, Iterating did I mention Empathizing
Awesome! You do the BEST projects w/Ss. So meaningful
When we lead w to help us uncover authentic, relevant exp for Ss, the real follows https://t.co/2pi8EAtgqc
Love it-Trust w/ purpose-often S "get to know" Ss on a superficial/nontrust level-- dt forces real relationships
Thought about you while eating chips and guac at an outside table last night.
A4: mindsets created are those that have collaboration and thinking at the forefront culture of ?s 4 all https://t.co/bcfZAxyk7f
A4: Purposeful learning across the subjects. Ts start thinking about meaningful assessement from Ss perspective.
be patient with Ss resistance if new to using /DT. Ss have to get used to it.Need to unlearn the system they may be used too
A4: The freedom of trying! The freedom of inviting their own ideas to a table of understanding.
A4: Growth, growth, and...Oh, did I say Growth?
A lot of ideas/takes in edusphere right now; be always mindful that is heart & soul of DT
always happy to share! We are facilitating an advanced class this year!
A4 together we are smarter, faster, stronger. WE are agents of change
"Purposeful learning" and across content areas. That is what education should be. That's the real world. https://t.co/APA44OHsuM
A4: Purposeful learning across the subjects. Ts start thinking about meaningful assessement from Ss perspective.
thanks / all about having rockstar TS!!!
A4 Ss not only being better problem finders, but better problem solvers. Empowered learners, creative tools.
REALLY hope we are all there to attend your session
A4: Curiosity. Wonder. [Perhaps] An ability to hold questions longer....
So true! Takes time - don't use early reluctance or confusion as an excuse not to try https://t.co/0tC0xxpXNG
be patient with Ss resistance if new to using /DT. Ss have to get used to it.Need to unlearn the system they may be used too
Growth, constant learning, increased listening, and the importance of taking their inspirations to the next step...ACTION!
A4 seeing life from someone else's POV, willingness to give & receive feedback, step out of comfort zone.
A4) more divergent thinkers, better at finding bugs in the system
Absostinkinlutely. https://t.co/5Yh70YfhgG
be patient with Ss resistance if new to using /DT. Ss have to get used to it.Need to unlearn the system they may be used too
I'd add the ability to ask better questions too! https://t.co/k98gs77H9y
A4: Curiosity. Wonder. [Perhaps] An ability to hold questions longer....
That does make a huge difference BUT good leadership is just important
I got you, my friend. I got you.
A4: When Ts start internalizing the mindsets as a way to do school, so do the Ss = real impact
Dvora here: lost track of time, joining late
HEY! I'll be back in da burgh Sept 16th, would be great to grab coffe
It's such a beautiful idea isn't it. Makes educators pause and question...which is always good for kids. https://t.co/1AS0MYbC8c
Love this! https://t.co/SNG0pcSVqU
A4 seeing life from someone else's POV, willingness to give & receive feedback, step out of comfort zone.
I'm excited to be a part of a campus that so believes this. Ss will get it if Ts live it.
Hey Dvora! Wow! Twice in one day and on 2 social media sites. ;)
Yes! It's crazy how quickly they learn "how to do school"
"A table of understanding." Love that.... https://t.co/lsvuFuB4it
A4: The freedom of trying! The freedom of inviting their own ideas to a table of understanding.
Let's borrow from the upcoming Star Wars film Rogue One - "a Force for Change!" https://t.co/SdA0VGfcdX
A4 together we are smarter, faster, stronger. WE are agents of change
Yes! Ask questions without being shut down or feeling dumb. Ask away! Ask away! Additionally, own that question!
Now I'd flip that emPHAsis, bc problem finding & need finding isn't getting the value added love deserved https://t.co/p5UAXnQWjG
A4 Ss not only being better problem finders, but better problem solvers. Empowered learners, creative tools.
I'm offering learninggrants 2my t's 2b novices at something-I'll pay-only requirement-document learning for s's
As Dir of Tech & Innovation, I'm everywhere... but today I was working with the one class I lead, which is HS.
Ask ask in a seek to understand, not defensive mindset. It makes such a diff. when the guard is down. https://t.co/srgG8H8K57
Yes! Ask questions without being shut down or feeling dumb. Ask away! Ask away! Additionally, own that question!
Yes! Yes! Yes! I need a sticker that says "if no , not "
I'm wondering how gamification might help Ss with executive function deficits
I had an interview with a principal, and his whole mantra was teaching to the test.
Where the Ss have REALLY internalized the game of school. Hard to play a different one... We'll get there. :)
A4 Mindsets? How bout dt reasserts Ss humanity? We r not "vessels to be filled." We r actors, agents of chnge, social so that=DT
ohhhhh we will be doing research on this.. Gaming a big focus at my school!
are you going to share progress?
A4 mindset of agency so kids see they are in charge of their own learning experience not just vessels to be filled w knowledge
This. Somewhere, Pablo Freire is smiling. (Me, too.) https://t.co/lRt35G74t6
A4 Mindsets? How bout dt reasserts Ss humanity? We r not "vessels to be filled." We r actors, agents of chnge, social so that=DT
This is so cool!! Do the Ss know what Ts are doing, documented? Would love to see other admin do this! https://t.co/Ukt20taWOA
I'm offering learninggrants 2my t's 2b novices at something-I'll pay-only requirement-document learning for s's
problem finding/defining (in conjunction w/empathy) is what makes design thinking so powerful
Dude. crushing it on . Look at this PD model https://t.co/vCrCD0w2n9

With the freshmen, mini-mini-creativity-stretches... who would you save on the island, marshmallow challenge, etc.
Hi ! Another year, yet still rolling in late post-kids-bedtime....wonderful prompts and replies here! - Ela in Boston
Q5: Jump in w/improv, mini-macgyver challenges, learning about each other, building trust.
A5/1: Last year we used 's most wonderful
Who would you save on an island...tell me more?
Ss who are self driven love this, Ss who have external locus of control struggle https://t.co/tbHnh599K2
A4 mindset of agency so kids see they are in charge of their own learning experience not just vessels to be filled w knowledge
A5: With freshmen, mini-mini-creativity-stretches, who would you save on the island, marshmallow challenge, etc.
A5: it's all around and everywhere.. Builds culture by being woven into fiber. We do specifically teach approach.
Yup, yup. Baby steps, build creative confidence… series of small successes as DK likes to say!
spot on assessment, Ss need to be given time to unlearn system they've been a part of for too long! https://t.co/ya71rdwV4H
be patient with Ss resistance if new to using /DT. Ss have to get used to it.Need to unlearn the system they may be used too
A5: Starting with fostering a culture built on empathy. "Culture eats strategy for breakfast."
We're going to have teacher exhibitions to model messy learning for students-will lead to student exhibitions next
Yes! Investment in learning and I love the documentation for students! Spread of 'love of learning' at all levels
A5 day one, classroom redesign. Star w wants/needs. Modify classroom w Ss. Give Ss voice & belief they can enact change
A5 Once a couple of mini experiences, we redesign classroom for all classes in my room; grows https://t.co/OOTmkgnplF
A5 phase in with language of empathy, user centered, prototype, Interation, bias to action
A5/2 - Eager to our way through drafting a "bill" into law: 8th graders inventing a game for 5th graders
A great would be a student starts a business, and a teacher starts a business, too. Entrepreneurship.
Yup. Good way of saying it. Built into everything. A way of being, thinking and seeing the world. https://t.co/epbnvq1i2S
A5: it's all around and everywhere.. Builds culture by being woven into fiber. We do specifically teach approach.
I remind myself about the small steps ALL the time (for others of course ;)
I'll find exact doc & share, but various bios, opposing strengths/weaknesses - how do you know who to prioritize?
That's my teacher! https://t.co/VcamGH2Fap
Hi ! Another year, yet still rolling in late post-kids-bedtime....wonderful prompts and replies here! - Ela in Boston
A5 use steps of process without tackling a major project right away.
Such great ideas for getting started with at . You have to start somewhere...so just start.
A5: model, model, model. Our inner city students don't know what learning is, let alone DT. So model, model and model some more
yes and is Not a Blanket, and that’s ok
love bringing it back to school culture, it's such a huge component
A5b: Reading the book What Do You Do With An Idea & discussing the importance of acceptance & self-expression.
nice/ any chance for release time in future to co-teach even 1 PD a day?
A5 create quick doable DT challenges
Curious about method. Who do you have empathy convos with?
love improv; what are macgyver challenges?
Exactly, giving Ss the power to ID, define, and build a solution, empowers them as learners-lifelong skill
Thiiiiiiiiis. https://t.co/QeWnE05NyI
A5 day one, classroom redesign. Star w wants/needs. Modify classroom w Ss. Give Ss voice & belief they can enact change

A5: it's all around and everywhere.. Builds culture by being woven into fiber. We do specifically teach approach.
Where do you come up with DT challenges-what are spec. resources. I get asked all the time? I need some new ideas:)
A4) strong emphasis on building empathy and giving feedback to each other using. Trying out students blogging this year
Looove this ! https://t.co/eQhG5GKgUX
A1: DT gives everyone a voice, slows the process down, creates space for divergent thinking +
I create PD for myself and present to admin. I share my learning w/ my Ss by having short 5min discussions. Love it!
A5 Question system. Strt by rding crits of Sch. Show Ss as disenfranchised from birthright as cr8rs. Gets Ss dis-oriented
I am challenge you! They want to learn through process vs. book work. Don't teach me how to make $$$, let me make $$$.
they are basically super mini-design challenges. Happy to share.
consider a school-wide multi-grade design challenge.. Add ideas at lunch etc.
A5: Good question! I haven't officially taught it yet! Looking for suggestions. I learned via small DCs.
yes and listen, learn, be patient.. Had to learn that lesson quick!!
Did I just get a from My day is complete! :) :) https://t.co/vrgAgAsAGr

Sure-I released 4 t's for 1/2 today to play w/raspberry pi's Release time = only $ which is about values
A5c: Making time/space for Ss collaboration & making.
I didn't get your tweet. Challenging me to what?
A5: Without officially teaching/discussing DT to my Ss, I allowed them to live it and create the process through ?s. Ownership.
Ah yes, patience... It's always a battle!
Q6: New year, new goals. Let's same em loud and proud then support each other. What are your goals? https://t.co/o8Cf9ofx1R
I like the --great tagline... next business cards?
gettin’ crazy with the giving tonight!
A5b Once Ss feel disoriented, DT helps reassert their agency and humanity bc it IS a heuristic. It's What We DO!
A6: My goal is to stay consistently engaged with this network and to ask for ideas/support to continue to grow.
A6 Spread the love! Put into practice whenever possible, walk the talk, watch change take root.
finally... beginning very late - sigh - so will have to read all of the great ideas later.
Its sad really. Makes me feel like my boomshakalaka is devalued now.
A5: also, no need to reinvent the wheel - check out Odyssey of the Mind, Boy Scouts, etc. creative challenges to get started!
A6: Not altogether new, but big one is to continue to strive to get the As and planners familiar with & willing integrate some DT
we gotta get together! Maybe you, me &
A6 Lead from behind, shine spotlight on those AMAZING Ss & Ts, drive that work forward!
Agree! You all are sharpening my saw.
A6 I have worked through the design thinking "process" for several years. This year I want the process and to create a "9Product"
A6: Defer to the process and mindsets by default when I'm stuck on something myself (getting better though😜)
A5 I push all the furniture into the middle of the room and meet them at the door. It's your room... Go!
A6: Better integration of & librarianship through
A6: This year I want to be more positive, more encouraging, more yes, and! I will practice my deep breathing & go with the flow
A6: implementing an X-block-3hrs on Wed-no class, only design, making and working with community partners-goal: make it work!
That would be awesome! Send me some dates in September. Let's make it real!
A6 DT goal--Get my Design-Lab class rocking so next year I won't have enough seats! (oh...and fabricate proj. tables, too)
A6: participating in more often (2/2 so far--woohoo)
The roll 2night is cuz it’s a GREAT chat and loving so many awesome ideas being shared.
A6: I want to DT my teachers and create projects for them to try with their Ss
A6 shift communities focus from methodology to mindset
Inner city kids are ready to learn. They want to learn, just in a different way.
Love this! You are kind of on fire tonight! https://t.co/v15NDIXDcL
A6: implementing an X-block-3hrs on Wed-no class, only design, making and working with community partners-goal: make it work!
A6: Comm service project design w/8th graders; Syrian refugee crisis; how to unpack primary source documents across middle grades
A6) walk the walk. Being a better design thinker makes me a better teacher.
A6: Ss see DT as a real, achievable, and success process of grit, communication, and discovery. A light into the future!
A6: Ss use DT to solve a problem at their work study (all of our Ss work 1 day a week at 60+ it's on city) + present at salon
A6: Sharing my learning, my team's learning more around DT with Ss
