School innovation expert John B. Nash demonstrates how design
thinking can be adapted successfully by busy school leaders seeking
student-centered solutions to a range of challenges. Based on a
decade of work teaching school leaders nationally and
internationally, Design Thinking in Schools shows how leaders can
adopt a design thinking mindset to uncover problems and harness the
ideas and energy of students and other stakeholders to create
unique, effective solutions within a single semester or school
year. The book is a step-by-step guide that offers critical
guidance and field-tested tools for choosing design teams,
developing prototypes, and selecting promising ideas to take to
scale. It includes rich examples of educators at the elementary,
middle, and high school level who have used design thinking to find
creative solutions for improving student engagement, school
climate, and parent-teacher conferences, among many other
challenges. Nash illustrates how school leaders can use the design
thinking process to access a range of student voices for a
diversity of opinions and feedback on topics that better inform
school change. Lively and inspiring, Design Thinking in Schools is
a critical resource for school leaders seeking to leverage the
untapped wealth of knowledge and experience contained within their
own buildings to make schools innovative places of learning.
