One of Open Way Learning’s primary support tools is facilitation of Design Sprints using the principles of human centered design. Starting with empathy, we help education stakeholders get insight needed to define a problem, ideate and prioritize potential solutions, and then prototype and test ideas with their primary users - in most cases, students. Examples include a sprint to help a California district develop a living mission & vision, a North Carolina district “rethink time” for its calendar and school schedules, a Colorado school develop a learner-centered culture to match its new state-of-the-art facility, and a sprint in a South Carolina district that helped school leaders and teachers bring more student agency across all of their schools.
