In recent years, IDEO has spent a lot of time and effort thinking about education. The firm’s work with Ormondale Elementary School, in Portola Valley, California, helped pioneer a special “investigative-learning” curriculum that inspires students to be seekers of knowledge. We spoke to Sandy Speicher, who heads the Design for Learning efforts at IDEO. Her insights provide powerful lessons for architects and designers creating the schools of tomorrow:

6. Teachers are designers.
-
7. Build a learning community.
-
8. Be an anthropologist, not an archaeologist.
-
9. Incubate the future.

Allow children to see their role in creating this world by studying and creating
for topics like global warming, transportation, waste management, health care,
poverty, and even education. -
It’s not about finding the right answer. It’s about being in a place where we
learn ambition, involvement, responsibility, not to mention science, math, and
