About This Lesson
Part of the 2019 AFT TEACH Conference.
Experience firsthand the principles of design thinking, and learn about the different levels of social impact as well as a multistep process where students: identify a problem, research potential solutions to address root causes, think creatively and critically, and devise an action plan to create positive change. Adapted from the proven “Knowledge to Action” model pioneered by education nonprofit World Savvy, change-maker challenges have been successfully used across the nation to inspire and support students to act as empathic, action-oriented change-makers. Take an engaging change-maker challenge back to your classroom and help all your students know they are powerful! Part 2 will be held at 10:15 a.m. tomorrow. Participants must attend both sessions to qualify for a certificate.
Presenters: Maria Laura Acebal, head of Youth Years, North America, Ashoka; Mallory Tuominen, director of professional learning, World Savvy
