Participatory Values ○ Full Participation ○ Mutual Understanding ○ Inclusive Solutions ○ Shared Responsibility

Community Norms ○ Speak your truth ○ Create room for all voices ○ Encourage risk-taking ○ Honor the work ○ Respect your time ○ Minimize distractions ○ Model the way/be the change ○ Presume positive intentions No Buts Umbrella of Mercy

Design & Innovation Objectives ○ Through our work with the d.school at Stanford, participants will leave with tools and strategies to share with their district colleagues to help advance their work implementing the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. ○ Participants will leave with a shared framework for identifying design challenges, setting the stage for continued cross- district collaboration around design and innovation work in CCSS-M.

Activity Fix the lit candle to the tree so that it will not drip wax onto the grass (at all).

Functional Fixedness: A cognitive bias that makes it difficult to use familiar objects in abnormal ways How did the activity FEEL? What did your team consider first? Second? Third? Was there an ah-ha moment? Can you name what lead to that? Debrief

2015 Roadmap March April May June Feb D&I Institute II Pilot Deployment #1 Ongoing Data Collection Analyze Data as Team D&I Institute III Pilot Deployment #2 SWOT Analysis: Discuss Next Steps Tweak Prototype August

Goals for August 2015 ○ Piloted your team’s prototype #1…small scale. ○ Collected feedback on the prototype utilizing the Empathy phases: Observe, Immerse, Engage ○ Piloted prototype #2 with revisions based on feedback… small scale. ○ Conducted a SWOT Analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) to decide on next steps. ○ Engaged in conversation as a team about weather this prototype was a solution worth scaling?

Prototyping Process Framework Grade Levels Deployment #2 Iterative Process Sample Size Scheduling Observations Using the Data At which (and how many) sites should you test this prototype? Would a particular grade level be better than others? Why? Are there particular teachers you should target with your prototype? Why? What behaviors will you observe for to see if your prototype is having positive impact? How will you collect feedback? How does your team plan to organize and ‘make sense of’ data that is collected in all phases of the process? How many cycles of iteration do you hope to deploy before EOY? What is your goal for deployment #2 of prototype? Who/How will you meet with your MiC Leadership Team to share findings, discuss next steps? Key areas Teachers Frequency How often? Who is ‘point’? Empathize Observe, Immerse, Engage Type Survey, Focus Groups, Live School Sites Team Updates Meetings, Virtual Collab.

Cross District Exploration 10 Minutes Walk Around Quietly – With or Without your Team Decide 3 Districts You’d Like to go Back to For More Information - Look at their Prototype - Look at their How Might We

First Round ○ 8 Minutes: Stay with chosen District ○ Go Deeper: Consider questions similar to “Test” phase yesterday where you gave each other feedback. Consider questions on the Prototype Process Framework that your team will be looking at this afternoon (new version passed out today).

Second Round ○ 8 Minutes: Stay with chosen District ○ Go Deeper: Consider questions similar to “Test” phase yesterday where you gave each other feedback. Consider questions on the Prototype Process Framework that your team will be looking at this afternoon (new version passed out today).

Third Round ○ 8 Minutes: Stay with chosen District ○ Go Deeper: Consider questions similar to “Test” phase yesterday where you gave each other feedback/asked questions. Consider questions on the Prototype Process Framework that your team will be looking at this afternoon (new version passed out today).

Small Group Cross District Discussion suggested protocol in folder ○ Considering your progress from day 1 of the Design & Innovation Institute II, which elements of the Prototyping Process Framework: Sample Size Scheduling Observations Using the Data are you most uncertain about? Why? ○ Consult with colleagues from another district to help solve some of your most pressing challenges related to this work.

Team Action Planning ○ You may find a guiding document here for your action planning….. » ○ Feel free to use your own process ○ Feel free to use any space or resources available White Boards Chart Paper Prototyping Materials ○ We will check back in as a group in 60 minutes
