Spring is the season of
growth ~ for flowers, shrubs, trees, and teachers, too!
Over the last two years, as a
school, we have begun to explore the Design Thinking process and its
application to the curriculum. Nowhere
has that process been more successfully implemented than in the New Community
Project, a course created by Chidi Asoluka, Alcott House Head, Upper School English
teacher, and Director of New Comm.
On Saturday, April 9th,
2016, Germantown Academy will offer a 3-hour workshop from 10:00-1:00 in the
Beard Center for Innovation during which we will explain the NewComm/design
thinking process, hear from our partners this year at Urbanstead, and then work in the school gardens to do some
planting.
This event is open to all curious GA teachers and
students. Upper School students
interested in enrolling in the New Comm course next year will find this
workshop particularly helpful.
If you are interested
in joining us for this event, please RSVP by emailing Chidi Asoluka at chidi.asoluka@germantownacademy.org by Friday, April 8.
