Implementing and Evaluating Design Thinking Student Projects (Workshop 6/6)

Description

Projects that cultivate student creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and student agency often require feedback and evaluation that goes beyond a letter or number grade. Join Lauren Boucher and Brian Whitson as they discuss a variety of evaluation practices for Design Thinking projects, including student-created rubrics. Participants will also have an opportunity to access done-for-you templates and support materials to create their own content-specific learning experiences that they can immediately use with their students."‹

Objectives

1. Define steps one through five of the Design Thinking Process and explain how students can use them to solve problems and cultivate essential skills such as creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and student agency.
2. Develop a plan for evaluating students' projects that captures both the final product and the learning that occurred throughout the Design Thinking Process.
