Uncovering the Implicit Curriculum

Workshop for Educators

You teach much more than a subject matter in your classroom. As a matter of fact, every classroom, by virtue of its design, teaches a hidden curriculum that has lasting effects on student learning, performance, and well-being.

Does your class promote autonomy or obedience? Does it facilitate positive emotions or fear? Does it foster self-awareness or compliance? This workshop will help you explore just that.

In this workshop, you will use tools to assess your classroom culture like an anthropologist! You will investigate how the physical and social arrangements of your classroom affect the skills your students gain, the behaviors they develop, and the kind of persons they grow up to be. Finally, you will start building a conceptual approach to design a classroom culture that brings the best out of your students.

Using Design Thinking to Tackle Challenges at School

Workshop for Educators

Do you struggle to get your students to pay attention? Do you feel alone in your work as an educator? Do you feel that communication with parents is not effective? Do you have some other challenge which you have no clue how to tackle? Well, Design Thinking might just be the tool you need.

Design Thinking is specifically suited to tackle challenges that have the following variables in common: they do not have a straightforward solution and their solution involves human beings.

In this workshop, you will explore the Design Thinking process and use it to start solving a challenge at your school. Design thinking will become an elemental approach to address challenges that you come upon in your daily school and classroom life and reach solutions that are human-centered and sustainable and that actually work!
