To get a sense of the best practices in contemporary school design, we interviewed four of the top K–12 architecture firms in the U.S.: Fanning Howey, Corgan, Perkins+Will, and Huckabee. Collectively, the companies bill hundreds of millions of dollars in work annually, and have built or renovated thousands of schools throughout the country and around the globe. Key insights into five common design principles—technology integration, safety and security, transparency, multipurpose space, and outdoor learning—surfaced during our conversations. Technology Integration At the dawn of the digital era, technology integration in most K–12 schools boiled down to the presence of computer labs, separate rooms filled with bulky terminals that students could sign up to use. Today’s school technology represents a quantum leap forward—it’s at once ubiquitous, invisible, personal, and mobile. ©Robert Benson Photography/Courtesy of Flansburgh ©William Manning/Photo courtesy of Fanning Howey Transparency ©G.

DT in the classroom Many educators are still not aware of the fact that design thinking has reached the classrooms already, especially, the K-12 classrooms. Schools are indeed using the design thinking techniques knowingly and unknowingly in the process of implementing their lesson plan. Injecting an ‘I CAN’ attitude in your students is all that it takes! In addition to the lesson plans, an extensive framework of well-developed design stages that concurrently works on developing and upskilling the mindset of the learners is the need of the hour. In the book Design Thinking in Classroom, David Lee tries to explain how working on changing, altering or improving the mindsets of the learners, or even teachers, will develop an intrinsic design thinking attitude in a classroom, irrespective of what subject or academic discipline is in action.

Your phrase might be something as simple as, “That Monday morning feeling,” or “Good management looks like this.” Why Design Thinking workshops don’t work Please tell me if that sounds familiar: Someone at your company, likely from a business unit, has heard about Design Thinking recently and got excited. They read a case study of how it delivered results for someone else in their position at a competitor, and now they want to try. Feeling that the organization does not have relevant capabilities, they look for an outside consultant to come in and host a Design Thinking workshop.
