EMPATHY TO IMPACT
1-2 Day Design Sprints for Future-Focused, Transformative Teaching and Learning
Futures Thinking
Inform decisions on the design and planning of school learning experiences and environments through an analysis of how drivers of change might affect the health of our planet and outlook for humanity.
Transformative Learning
Choose one or two demonstrable, transformative learning goals from this resource page to inspire proactive changemakers — skills and dispositions that enable student agency and lead towards informed action for a better future.
Care
Choose one or two targets from our Care resources that can enhance the purpose of this learning experience.
Inquire
Develop a compelling inquiry related to a topic that learners care about and that a more sustainable community and planet might need. Statements of inquiry or compelling questions can spark learners towards greater meaning, purposeful applied learning, and overall agency.
Impact
Choose one or two actions and one or two community partners from our Impact resources to enhance the depth of meaningful engagement and impact. Think through the lenses of community assets as partnerships and audiences built on real relationships over a disconnected service.
Aware
Choose one or two tools from our Aware resources that can enhance the critical thinking and research skills needed in this transformative learning experience.
Able
Choose one or two objectives or standards from our Able resources to identify enhanced and applied interdisciplinary learning goals.
