An impactful and engaging education system puts people first – students, parents, teachers, community members. Human-Centered Design (HCD) provides the toolbox and mindset to ensure a system stays agile and responsive to current and future stakeholders.
This fellowship is built for Pennsylvania CTE leaders to learn about and practice implementing design thinking and, more specifically, Human-Centered Design. Design thinking encompasses five phases of design: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. Throughout this course, participants will learn about and apply each phase of the design cycle to a challenge within their system that will foster student growth and achievement.
HCD is a subset of design thinking that focuses on empathy as a means for collaborative problem solving. When leaders know their students well, the systems they work in better meet their needs. When leaders understand the challenges facing their communities, they can adapt to their priorities.
Participants will work throughout the course to develop and implement a plan for addressing an area of need in their system around student growth and achievement.
This course includes direct instruction, individual and group activities, independent assignments, as well as job-embedded applications. Building on the foundation of the course, fellowship experiences through virtual organizational coaching sessions will further enhance translating instruction into practice.
Resources, including explainer videos and design templates, will be available.
