Design In Mind
Design in Mind
A Framework for Sparking Ideas, Collaborations, and Innovation in Early Education
An interest in the visual arts, architecture, and design has been part of my life since I was a child.
As an educator, I often thought about how these disciplines informed our depth of practice. This book emerged as part of the ongoing discussion with my co-author Michell Grant-Groves. We are both fascinated by the concepts of design thinking and how they can enhance our work as educators by creating a more human-centered and agile way to solve challenges.
A Framework for Sparking Ideas, Collaborations, and Innovation in Early Education
Design in Mind outlines a framework for a design thinking process that helps educators tackle complex challenges in their educational ecosystems step by step to quickly find fresh ideas and solutions. It invites readers to simultaneously think like educators and designers while centering inquiry, equity, equality, and inclusion, supporting creative tension, and encouraging collaborative innovation.
