No Teacher Left Behind: Rethinking the Traditional  Teacher Role and Career
Spring 2010

Do you believe in the power of design thinking to improve k-12 education? This project-based course, a collaboration of the d.school, the School of Education and NewSchools Venture Fund, will give students access to those who are innovating in education, specifically human capital. Course projects will deepen students’ design thinking process while expanding their understanding of the k-12 teaching landscape. Students will connect with entrepreneurs tackling some of the most pressing teaching and learning problems, learn from their experiences and explore their own areas of interest more deeply through development of a business/project opportunity with potential to carry it forward beyond the class.
