The d.home Team was a programmatic prototype we tested to see if we could deeper engage with educators to instill design mindsets in them. We continue to learn from this prototype.
We saw teachers adopt a new language. They took bite sized chunks of the design process and used it to transform their curriculum, which included incorporating new activities they experienced as participants in the d.home team back at school. Teachers and school leaders also used the process to navigate changes and challenges in their school, to train their staff, and to coach students through design challenges. Here is a sneak peak of our internal evaluation of the program, informed by deep empathy interviews and observation at all of our school sites.
I don't consider myself a creative...
Now I start with possibility, not constraint...
I really understood empathy when I heard directly from parents that they felt left in the dark...
I feel more connected to a larger movement...
