#CBE182 Day 9, Stephanie Bartlett, Specialist, Curriculum and Pathways

In my role as Specialist, I had an opportunity to help Copperfield School use their Learning Commons for the first time. Planning conversations with the staff centered around questions like “What are the mindsets we want students to have when they work in this space?” “How might we begin to teach students the process of design thinking?”  The grade fours opened by talking about how cool it was to be in a brand new school and that they were the first kids to use this bright, open space.
 
We read The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires to introduce students to the idea of learning from failure and prototyping. We moved into an interview for empathy as students began to design the Most Magnificent Thing for a friend.

After asking questions, students ideated by drawing a few different design plans of how they could make their friend’s favourite thing to do even BETTER.

During a feedback protocol, they shared design plans, listened carefully and adjusted ideas based on feedback

Moving to rapid prototyping, students used low tech materials to put thought to form. We made a very creative mess!

When students shared their creation with their partner, some of the feedback was that they felt special, honoured and surprised at the effort that went into designing something to help a friend.  An engaging 90 minute experience helped give students some important mindsets that will help determine how they interact together and use the Learning Commons. I felt special and honoured to be a part of the group.
