- 65. Design Mindsets Design thinkers embrace empathy. The process of solving problems is human-centered.
- 66. Design thinkers are radical collaborators. Diverse teams use a variety of skills and perspectives to solve sticky problems. Design Mindsets
- 67. Design thinkers linger in ambiguity. Before posing an answer, design thinkers immerse themselves in the problem space and seek to view it from every angle. Design Mindsets
- 68. Design thinkers embrace experimentation. Don’t get stuck on a single “perfect” solution. They try a few! Exploration, examination and inquiry lead to insight and innovation. Design Mindsets
- 69. Design thinkers fail forward. They reclaim failure as a positive experience and aim to fail early & often. They know that each failure carries insights towards the next success. Design Mindsets
- 70. Mindshifts: From Traditional School Values to Design Mindsets 70 • Value on efficiency à Value on exploration • Top down decision making à Value stakeholder insights • Rigid structures & processes à Flexible structures & processes • Solutions are complete & finalà Fail forward, ongoing improvement • Teachers as subordinates à Teachers as collaborators • Students as outcomes of education à students as users of education
- 71. Preview: School Site Design Challenges 71 1. Fall 2018 (2 video conferences): naming your problem space, tools for gaining empathy into stakeholder insights 2. Winter 2019 (in person workshop): defining problems, brainstorming, picking your prototype 3. Spring 2019 (in person workshop): School site challenge presentations, design thinking next steps
- 73. Homework 1: Brainstorm Ideas for Your School Site Challenge 73 1. Do you have the power to innovate? (i.e. Not district mandates) 2. Does it make sense for the timeline? (testing solutions winter & spring) 3. Do you already have a set solution in mind or an open mind?
- 74. Homework 2: Cultivating a Design Mindset with Your Staff 74 1. Pick a design mindset or value to focus on • Human centered problem solvingà stakeholder input • Building background à research before resolution • Uncensored brainstormingà value wild ideas • Reclaim failure à let solutions evolve through experimentation • Students as usersà valuing student voice when problem solving 2. List out applications of this mindset in your collaborations 3. Weave the mindset into conversations informally 4. Choose one or more opportunities to be explicit with staff (Explain: this is what we are doing, this is why we are doing it, here is the timeline)
