Deeper Learning 2019

How do we help facilitate deeper learning among adults when so many of us were raised in a traditional schooling model? How can we support adults to teach in ways that they potentially have never experienced? We need to create the conditions for a culture of deeper learning, but how?

“We do for adults what we want them to do with kids.”
We’ll explore how to shift adult mindsets and practices at the classroom and school-wide level, in order to uproot the traditional school paradigm.

Rather than passively sitting and looking at how to do this, we’ll be actively learning and immersing in the design thinking process to hack toward small solutions with big impact. During our session, we’ll build a team, create a common vision, start small and model how to build trust, rapidly ideate to innovate, and design think.

By the end of the session, participants will have practiced design thinking, collaboratively built a toolkit and created a hardware store of tools to share their learning.
