Review

Design in Mind is the users' guide for a new and better future. --Jim Knight, senior partner, Instructional Coaching Group "Through the intersection of design thinking and adaptive leadership, this powerful framework represents a breakthrough moment in early childhood educational reform. The idea of 'digging beneath the surface' as the initial step of the change process is where professional inquiry begins and seeking to solve problems for which there are no apparent solutions is where the adaptive leadership process begins. We should celebrate this game-changing educational innovation!" --Maurice Sykes, author of Doing the Right Thing for Children: Eight Qualities of Leadership "As an educator in the field of design, I truly understand the lasting benefits of the Design in Mind process. Through guided steps and contextual examples, the authors clearly demonstrate how facing any dilemma from this solution-driven framework embraces multiple perspectives and gives rise to actionable change." --Diane M. Spahn, director of education, Kodo Kids

Description for Sales People

The Design in Mind (DiM) framework encourages educators to think deeply about their practices and existing ecosystems and to get in touch with their hopes, dreams, values, ideas, and deeper thinking. The DiM pushes EDesigners (educator-designers) to better describe and defend their decisions by applying continuous collaboration and democratic decision making to achieve sustainable change. Through careful observation and relationship-based interactions, we can begin to understand how our roles within our larger educational ecosystem require an acute awareness of the whole--not just the parts. The DiM framework helps to frame dilemmas and problems educators are faced with as questions that then drive them to examine ill-defined or unknown situations. It also provides scaffolds and generates ideas for ideas to develop and test through prototyping, sketching, experimenting, and ideating; in collaboration with others or with ourselves. Miriam Beloglovsky is an award-winning author (Teachers' Choice Awards, Brain Child Awards, INDIES Finalist) and one of Redleaf Press's bestselling authors. Michelle Grant-Groves is the executive director of the I3 Institute: Inquiry, Intention, and Innovation, a design and education consulting firm dedicated to bridging early care and education systems, Birth-3rd Grade, and beyond.
