Design thinking demands
out of the box thinking and builds trust.

# data[].attributes.body
Design thinking challenges our assumptions and redefine the problems that we may be faced with.

# data[].attributes.body
We get "stuck on the escalator" a lot for different problems we try to solves as teams. Design Thinking can be a great way to pull through when we're stuck. Bringing in staff that aren't typically involved with whatever we're navigating can help add new perspectives. Wonder how this can help us fight the difficulty of maintaining student engagement from home!

Design thinking provides a framework for looking at problem solving in a different way and allows for collaborative and creative in the problem solving process.

# data[].attributes.body
Design Thinking helps us problem solve in a different way using non-traditional processes. The story about letting the air out of the tires really illustrated this.

# data[].attributes.body
Design thinks focused on collaborating together to identify a problem and think creatively about ways to solve this. By collaborating, learning about others and creating protocols different solutions may be discovered.

# data[].attributes.body
Design Thinking helps us solve problems using "out of the box" methods.

# data[].attributes.body
Design Thinking is the goal work for all our vertical teams and leadership teams to look at the needs of our students and work together in different ways!

# data[].attributes.body
If our current options do not let us accomplish our goals, we must diverge and find new solutions.

# data[].attributes.body
Design thinking helps us to approach problems and challenges in a new way.  It gives us a framework that allows us to be creative and innovative in ways that keep us focused  people rather than issues.

# data[].attributes.body
Thinking outside the box! Loved the story about letting the air out of the tires. There is more than one way to do things and giving our students and staff the opportunities to create that learning for themselves. Sometimes it takes looking at a problem in a different way to solve it.

# data[].attributes.body
Design thinking helps us focus on the human side of the problem.  Look at it from that point of view.  Start from there and think about all the possibilities, leaving no stone unturned.

# data[].attributes.body
Design Thinking challenges us to think outside our normal patterns and evaluate the problems through various new lenses. It is collaborative and brings together the possibility of new ideas that better meet the needs of the users.

# data[].attributes.body
Design Thinking is inclusive of all ideas and thoughts, encouraging collaboration. Engaging teachers and students in this process to problem solve pushes individuals to consider all perspectives and gives confidence to try something, even if it might not be right.

# data[].attributes.body
Design thinking is about collaboration.  It is an opportunity to think outside the box and work together to come up with ideas beyond our limited schemas.  Reminds us of the importance of working together and not operating in a silo.

# data[].attributes.body
Design Thinking allows us to create new learning realities and address the needs of all learners. The iterative process integrates lots of perspectives, which strengthens the end result. We are stronger and smarter together.

# data[].attributes.body
Design thinking forces us to think critically and creatively. Through collaboration with peers ideas can become broader and more diverse.

# data[].attributes.body
It allows students to think more deeply, creatively and really problem solve with some out of the box ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
Design thinking will keep us focused on what our values/beliefs are, while promoting/strengthening collaborative efforts on the campus to help us prepare our students for futures they create.

# data[].attributes.body
Design Thinking provides us with the opportunity to challenge long held assumptions about teaching and learning while reimagining what education can look like.

# data[].attributes.body
Design thinking keeps us focused on students and builds collaboration.

# data[].attributes.body
Design thinking gives us a consistent process with our student/family needs at the center of the problem-solving process. This process will provide us the structure to move outside of "traditional" ideas and practices to better solve problems in order to meet our goals.

# data[].attributes.body
Design thinking pushes us to look at things differently. So many of our students and teachers solve problems based on their previous experiences instead of looking to be more creative.

# data[].attributes.body
Design thinking focuses on the students and being solution oriented in meeting their needs, knowing it is not a straight and narrow pathway. We have to challenge our traditional ways of doing things and create to engage students at high levels.

# data[].attributes.body
Design thinking is a creative process that engages students to identify the problem and use prototype to learn and create the solution.  It gives students opportunity to have a growth mindset.  Students gain confidence to be problem solvers and ready to face new challenges. It allows students to understand the value of collaboration and feedback.

# data[].attributes.body
Design Thinking allows us to focus on the students, challenge our assumptions and engage in constant collaboration to tackle problems.

# data[].attributes.body
Design thinking focuses our efforts on our students' needs and we can create problem statements and great ideas for solving them from there. Having a non-linear pathway to change provides a more natural way for us to grow and adapt It's exciting to see an emphasis on teachers being designers rather than implementers of standard curriculum.

# data[].attributes.body
Design thinking will allow us to think about the idea, support the ones who will implement the idea, and stay focused on our students.

# data[].attributes.body
The design thinking process forces us to continue to view challenges beyond our own perspective. It motivates us to think aligned with students/parents/staff.

# data[].attributes.body
Design Thinking challenges students (and us) to think differently about solving problems and finding solutions. We are challenged to find new ways to design instruction for students that pushes students to think at higher levels in non-traditional ways.

# data[].attributes.body
The Future Ready learner profile embodies Design Thinking.  We need to use all 6 tenets
to build not only student capacity, but staff as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Design thinking allows us to challenge our assumptions and to solve problems by not repeating the same ineffective practices over and over. In addition, this process will allow us to keep our focus on our learners and what they need and want. I also believe that this process pushes us as leaders to evolve and change as our community and the needs of community evolve and change. This process will keep us from being complacent and stagnant. "One size doesn't fit all."

# data[].attributes.body
Many times innovative ideas are sparked by something someone else has said or done already. The importance of collaboration is key to solving problems and being innovative. Not everyone is the most creative, but when collaboration occurs it allows for more creative ideas to emerge.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning about the Design Thinking process is timely and relevant.  The current environment we are in necessitates us to work differently, putting the social, emotional needs/perspectives of the people we serve first.  Using this iterative process will help us go more in-depth into the why and how we conduct our work and solve problems.  This model will help us work through the barriers that get in the way of our ability to think creatively and innovate.

# data[].attributes.body
The design thinking process keeps us focused on the students and how to reach their needs.  Through this lens we are able to center our decisions around their needs and brainstorm ways outside the box to continue to reach the varied needs of our students.

# data[].attributes.body
Design thinking is not only thinking outside the box, but also realizing that the path to the solution or end result will not be a linear process, but will bounce back and forth through all parts of the process on the path to the final solution.

# data[].attributes.body
Design Thinking - 1. Supports diverse thinking and 2. Engages learners in problem solving around topics/ideas that they have an interest in

# data[].attributes.body
It helps us to stay focused on the needs of our students, staff, and community through the empathy component while being innovative. Design thinking can ensure we are spending time on the work that will launch us forward with effectiveness and efficiency. It will give us energy around innovation because we can see how it can help us meet our overall goal.  This will further support us making connections and being more productive as an overall organization.

# data[].attributes.body
I am thinking of our Future Ready Learners through the eyes of our students and our desire for them to embrace challenges.    It is important for us to empathize as our students express needs or have a desire to achieve.  It is our responsibility to help them identify their challenge and set a goal.  Then, through innovation, collaboration and the design process principles, they can realize success.

# data[].attributes.body
Design thinking is an infinite process of collaboration to benefit the student by focusing on their experiences. We can apply this as we continue to grow virtual instruction and the future of instruction and learning experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
When we look at solving problems through the lens of the customer, which is the student, coupled with the end goal, we want students to achieve or learn, then we must consider new, out-of-the-box ideas, and provide students the opportunity to learn through innovative ways.

# data[].attributes.body
The design process keeps the human/learner at the focus. When we develop our Future Reading Learner and Leader Profiles they are designed with the focus on the human/learner at the core of our decisions around planning and design. We also know that our subject (i.e., humans) will always be changing and evolving which supports our focus on continually innovating to meet their ever-changing needs.
