Design thinking is a method of problem-solving that relies on a complex set of skills, processes and mindsets that help people generate novel solutions to problems. Taking Design Thinking to School: How the Technology of Design Can Transform Teachers, Learners, and Classrooms uses an action-oriented approach to reframing K-12 teaching and learning, examining interventions that open up dialogue about when and where learning, growth, and empowerment can be triggered. While design thinking projects make engineering, design, and technology fluency more tangible and personal for a broad range of young learners, their embrace of ambiguity and failure as growth opportunities often clash with institutional values and structures. Through a series of in-depth case studies that honor and explore such tensions, the authors demonstrate that design thinking provides students with the agency and compassion that is necessary for doing creative and collaborative work, both in and out of the classroom. A vital resource for education researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, Taking Design Thinking to School brings together some of the most innovative work in design pedagogy.

Design and technology involves children learning through processes that include identifying needs and opportunities, generating and developing ideas, planning, making and evaluating. These strands are brought together through the use of: case studies analysing children's learning and the teacher's roles; and practical ideas and approaches to National Curriculum requirements based on the collective experience of committed and enthusiastic teachers.;The second edition fully reflects the latest revisions in the National Curriculum and links with other curricular changes in the intervening years. Specific links are made to the National Strategies for Literacy, Numeracy, and ICT; to the National Standards for Subject Leaders; to Science and the other foundation subjects; to the QCA Scheme of Work for D and to new initiatives in citizenship and creativity.
Originally published in 1993. The appearance of design and technology in the National Curriculum has offered primary teachers opportunities for imaginative and stimulating work which is directly related to the lives of their pupils. Its sheer scope can, however, be daunting for the teacher already overloaded with the other demands of the National Curriculum. Tina Jarvis provides some much needed guidance on strategies for including design and technology effectively within the whole curriculum, including the development of co-operative group-work and finding effective ways to assess individuals in group situations. The author also looks at how teachers can tackle subject areas which may be unfamiliar to them, such as systems, environments and economic enterprises.

Many schools have great difficulty in identifying and maintaining progressive development in 'designing and making' skills in the primary classroom. This book will help teachers to recognise opportunities for progression by discussing the issues involved. It also provides photocopiable activities that explore specific elements of the design and technology curriculum in depth and gives a structured but flexible approach to professional development which will help the reader to focus on the teaching and learning of a specific skill or process. This book is a means to explore the issue of individual progression and to improve skills in teacher assessment. The book will stir debate and stimulate thought among professionals involved in primary education, and will equip them to put progression into practice in their classrooms.
Specifically designed for busy teachers who have responsibility for co- ordinating a subject area within their primary school. Each volume in the series conforms to a concise style, while providing a wealth of tips, case studies and photocopiable material that teachers can use immediately.; There are special volumes dedicated to dealing with OFSTED, creating whole school policy and the demands of co-ordinating several subjects within a small school.; The entire set of 16 volumes is available.
This is a challenging new book for primary teachers interested in developing their teaching of Design & Technology, subject leaders in D&T, and for student teachers choosing this as their specialty. It will also appeal to in-service providers and LEA advisory staff. Children's creativity, cultural development and citizenship are important but currently underdeveloped in primary education. This book uniquely focuses on how these aspects can be emphasized in the teaching of Design and Technology. The National Curriculum has the potential to bring creativity, cultural development and citizenship into the mainstream and the authors show the considerable extent to which D & T, integrated with other curriculum subjects, can contribute to realizing these goals. There are examples throughout of best current practice showing how such ideas have been implemented.
