Design thinking is a human-centered problem-solving process that
organizations can use to address wicked and complex problems of
practice. Within the PK-12 space, design thinking has been employed
to engage educators in an innovative approach to address challenges
like curriculum redesign, instructional engagement, and designing
physical spaces. The use of design thinking in the PK-12 space is a
result of the evolution of an organizational improvement process
that puts people at the center of problem-solving initiatives.
Design thinking is seen as both a process and a mindset that
enables people to look at problems in new ways and address these
problems through creative approaches. In this book we share case
studies of PK-12 schools and other educational organizations that
have used design thinking, as well as research studies that have
studied aspects of design thinking in the PK-12 space. We have
brought together a variety of research-based and illustrative case
studies around design thinking in PK-12 education that explore the
development and implementation of design thinking in practice.

Look, Listen, Learn, LEAD: A District-Wide Systems Approach to
Teaching and Learning in PreK-12 lays out the transformational
journey of Hampton City Schools (HCS), an urban school division of
30 schools in southeastern Virginia. Our school district faces
numerous challenges, such as 62% of students receiving free and
reduced-price lunch and 14% of students holding an IEP, and in
2015-2016, Hampton City Schools' state accreditation rate was
approximately half the statewide rate and on a downward trend. In
only three years, that was turned around and HCS exceeded the
statewide accreditation rate, a more than 100% improvement with
100% of our schools accredited without conditions. We attribute
this in large part to our dedicated educators and their
implementation of district-wide systems for curriculum,
instruction, checking for student understanding, climate, and
culture. The goal of this book is to break down the process of what
it takes to bring about large-scale educational change that is
sustainable. We describe a process for developing a strong mission
and vision to undergird the work around a variety of district-wide
systems. This book provides insights into how to improve climate
and culture, create a guaranteed and viable written curriculum,
establish a process for evaluating its implementation, and create a
balanced assessment framework to measure student success. Complete
with example templates, action plans, and lessons learned, this
book is a true example of theory-into-practice to bring about
sustained improvement for all learners.
