Participant Testimony on PIC - Design Thinking Facilitation
“PIC is about changing the odds for all students through empathizing to be innovative and at the same time, changing/building/growing/developing leadership capacity.
After 2 years of being a principal in a career that is for life-long learners, PIC was the answer for moving students, staff, the community, and myself to the next level.
The program started off with Human Centered Design (aka design thinking) which really pushed me out of my comfort zone, but to really understand students and teach them how they deserve to be taught.
The shadowing experiences, tools, support, and check-ins have been crucial for my project. I have also used design thinking in many other areas… with parents, community and staff. The presentations and leadership development portion have always been presented at the right time and provided me with more tools and better practice to develop myself, others and to have a greater impact on students.
I am forever grateful to PIC for choosing me to participate so that I can be a true leader and provide the education that my students so deserve. The knowledge in the room with collaborating principals has truly inspired me to grow more in my leadership and I always leave excited to take back all the information to our stakeholders.”
