The New Design Thinking for Educators Toolkit



A few months ago education expert Sandy Speicher was kind enough to share her thoughts with me on the question: What's different when you look at the world of education through the lens of design?

Today I’m proud to share the newly relaunched Design Thinking for Educators toolkit. This toolkit supports teachers in using design thinking tools to become agents of change in their classrooms, schools, and communities by designing more effective curriculum, spaces, tools, and systems. Created in partnership with educators, the toolkit includes real-world classroom experiences and an accompanying workbook to help teachers determine which challenges to address.

Please share this free toolkit with educators in your network, and tell us: What’s your favorite tool in the new Design Thinking for Educators Toolkit?

Thank you for this tool kit- we've integrated design thinking into the Strategic Design MBA and other undergraduate curriculum at Philadelphia University. We're always looking for new ways to help students use this lens. You should visit us in Philly!

This is another brilliant resource IDEO, thank you. I am currently the president of the design club at Sacramento State College. I know that you are very busy, but if there is a chance that you could do a short workshop at Sac State, I know that I could gather both audience and resources from design, education, engineering and sociology departments. I am sharing this with all my peers and professors. Thanks again, and please feel free to contact me.
