SCD at New Trier

This will include workshops that bring scaffolded materials from basic introduction to more advanced topics for building user knowledge and practice skills.

SCD will work closely with New Trier teachers to help them build skills around integrating design thinking and human-centered design into selected courses for the launch of the Innovation Hub. The two organizations will co-design the curriculum development tools that can be used internally at NTHS  to scale this initiative more broadly as the Innovation Hub grows.

Assessing the impact across the program as it develops will influence our future understandings of this work and how it can be successfully and efficiently integrated into a real-time practice setting, at the high school and university levels. SCD will work with the first NTHS teacher cohort to define metrics, help them collect data, and work with them to evaluate the impact through an analysis of the data. These activities will help us collectively see what is working, and what needs to be fine-tuned as this work is scaled

SCD will facilitate a series of work-sessions throughout year 1 of the Innovation Hub pilot program to help the NTHS effectively plan to scale the HCD Innovation Hub into year 2. This will include sessions around defining roles and responsibilities, and monthly check-ins to assess progress and make adjustments as necessary.
