Design thinking programs provide leaders with a provocative, experiential, and practical approach to leading innovation in schools. Our focus is on building innova-tors (vs. innova-tions), so our primary work will be to develop the capacity to bring about the new model of schools. This keynote aims to expose participants to the principles of human-centered design and to inspire a conversation about disrupting the status quo, amplifying your school’s strengths, addressing key weaknesses, and thinking creatively.
