In education Design Thinking is a pedagogical approach that provides a high quality experience for students and allows teachers to do what they do best, facilitate student development.
The Kent ISD Design Thinking Academy is a series of professional development sessions exploring the benefits, methods and available resources for applying design thinking practices in the classroom or online. With a mix of live, asynchronous and job-embedded learning, you'll walk away with a firm understanding of design thinking and how it can be used with your students.
The Design Thinking Academy has been broken down into four main modules as well as a "Module 0" that provides a simple overview of Design Thinking and the Design Thinking Academy course.
Below is our calendar of events for the Design Thinking Academy.
