Are you interested in launching a Human-Centred Design Challenge at your school? Leverage the tools and resources on this page to initiate your own project following the Schools2030 Human-Centred Design process. Leverage the Schools2030 Human-Centred Design tools to plan, launch and complete your Design Challenge.

Educator Toolkit

The Schools2030 Human-Centred Design Toolkit is designed to support a design-based innovation process for schools participating in the Schools2030 initiative as well as any educator who decides to take on a design challenge. This process can be led by educators and school leaders, empowering them to identify problems and create solutions in response to concerns identified through the data collected with Schools2030 assessment tools and through reflection. This process is open-ended and adaptable to the cultural contexts, resource constraints and opportunities of each unique school.

The goal in conducting this design process for your school or classroom is to identify the root causes of the learning gaps for your students in order to design and test solutions that address those root causes and thus increase learning outcomes. We will be referencing the Schools2030 holistic learning outcomes as our guidelines for what learning outcomes to try to improve.
