NCED Connect Symposium 2025

Many students often struggle with connecting with literacy in an authentic way.  Design Thinking, a human centered problem solving process, can be a powerful integration tool to help students connect with literacy in authentic ways.  The experience of integrating Design Thinking with literacy can be transformative for learners when students use empathy maps and create solutions for characters from the stories that they are reading.  Additionally, students will cultivate and grow their own creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration.
