We are delighted to virtually invite you into our homes! Please join our next inspirational Design Thinking StudioChat Guest Presenter, GARRETH HEIDT, on Tuesday, November 10, 2020, at 7:30 PM EDT!
During this StudioChat, we will discover how high school students' curiosity and sense of urgency drive the curriculum. You will leave this session, wondering how we might create classrooms anchored in awe and joy. We will consider ways to design experiences that engage students purposeful acts of creation. In Mr. Heidt's inNOVAtion Lab, students learn, through wonder, exploration, research, and mentoring to create and construct purpose-driven endeavors. They develop project and time management skills and engage in deep work that employs the 4C's. Through an iterative process, students acquire requisite skills to design innovative solutions to problems they themselves have defined.
Essential Question: How might we design learning spaces so students can pursue their own interests in deep time supported by a minimal, yet viable curriculum?
Be prepared to go deep. This session will challenge you to explore the intent and success of curricula that tell us what to teach and when. It will ask you to enter into a conversation about what it means to design our classes with our students, and ultimately urge you to consider the benefits for you and your students of becoming comfortable with uncertainties and confusion.
