2 arcs

• Arc 1 // Deepening Your Design Thinking Mindsets:  Arc 1 experiences took place at the d.school and were designed to be experiential opportunities to learn more about techniques of design thinking and design-based curriculum as well create moments for participants to develop new insights into the mindsets that design thinkers embody.

• Arc 2 // Deep Action Learning at School Sites:  Arc 2 experiences took place at school sites and were designed to give participants the chance to hone their design thinking practice by applying their skills and mindsets to a real and relevant challenge at their school.

6 areas of support that schools need to go deeper with design thinking:

1. Context on why design thinking matters
2. Scaffolding and coaching for integrating design thinking in curriculum
3. Support to seek and define a challenge at school 
4. Design challenge implementation kit
5. Design thinking experts on call 
6. Leadership and change management strategies
