Case Study #5
The Power of Design Thinking
North Rowan High School
CHALLENGE: The traditional education system wasn’t connecting with students, or teaching them the right SEL skills to thrive. As a result, students weren’t excited about school, and the school faced high absentee and discipline rates.
SOLUTION: North Rowan created a curriculum focused on design thinking, problem-based learning, real-life experiences and SEL, making learning come alive for students—and catering to their individual interests and strengths, too.
