Teacher Creativity is less about thinking outside the box and more about identifying and pursuing opportunities to innovate despite the constraints of a traditional classroom environment. Design Thinking helps teachers focus on student needs and validate outcomes through a process of research and experimentation.

Teacher Designers

We engage in a design-based approach to creativity, where educators design and develop solutions to problems inside the box.

People and Context

We want to identify the problems we can address and better understand how students interact and experience those problems.

Validate Outcomes

We validate ideas through a process of research and experimentation.
The goal is to know we’ve solved the problem. Not think it.
