Delaine Johnson Mike Lawrence
If you’re doing all the work, who’s doing all the learning? We’ve discovered that the best lessons are those we don’t actually teach, but in which students research and present their own ideas. Jump in and discover the power of harnessing student creativity, design thinking and student agency through collaboration.

It is our job as teachers to ensure we are encouraging student agency and inquiry. This session will provide attendees with tools, resources and strategies to create a welcoming and engaging learning environment to ‘stay in the question.’ We will explore design-thinking approaches, including encouraging empathizing, defining, ideating, prototyping and testing. Participants will engage in collaborative activities, a design-thinking challenge and brainstorming practical ‘use-it-Monday’ applications and more. Each strategy will employ affordable and accessible apps, resources or websites appropriate for participants.
Ultimately, attendees will be challenged to rethink the far-too-common practice of “inviting students to compete for yesterday’s knowledge,” as described by Francois Taddei, Co-Founder & Director, CRI-Paris at the 2019 #LearningPlanet Assembly.
