It's a great tool, but seriously where do I get started? This is a conversation around how teachers are doing DT and how you can implement it where you are.","Description":"Beginning with a group discussion on curiosity, the conversation will point to the common frustration in leading students to transfer learning into stuff that matters: engagement. Design Thinking is not just another thing, but it's a cultural shift in thinking that calls for students, and teachers, to be people-centered problem solvers. It is igniting curiosity by sparking empathy. We will discuss the value of storytelling, opportunities for leadership, and distributed experience of Design Thinking when adopted into a school's learning strategy.\r\n\r\nAt the end of our conversation, we will invite attendees to participate in a fast prototyping challenge around the following How Might We statements:\r\n\r\nHMW build curiosity and empathy with what we already do in the classroom?\r\nHMW make time for design thinking at our school?\r\nHMW develop passionate and curious student leaders that make a dent?","Link":["http:\/\/www.mountvernonschool.org\/","https:\/\/www.mountvernonschool.org\/page\/Institute-for-Innovation"],"Audience":["High School","Middle School"],"Practice":"We will be inviting others into the conversations of curiosity, fast prototyping, and organic Q & A as we go. Our hope is to share a little from our experience, but also to give plenty of time for interaction. Our hope is that attendees walk away empowered to jump in!","Presenter":["James Campbell","Jenny Novoselsky","TJ Edwards","Trey Boden"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Mount Vernon Presbyterian School","Mount Vernon Institute For Innovation"],"PresenterEmail":["tboden@mountvernonschool.org"],"ScheduleSlotID":27,"ScheduleLocationID":14,"SubmitterID":88,"AdditionalComments":null,"LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":3}}
