| A Problem-Solving Process
| |
If the education of the past was one of specificity, today’s students and workers are expected to be well-rounded and versed in a variety of experiences.
Valor Arts teachers Hayes Trotter and Kevin Von Qualen have spearheaded a shift towards this kind of education through a problem-solving process called Design Thinking. Instead of traditional lectures, experience-based learning and collaborative opportunities can benefit students inside and outside the classroom.
