Community of Practice

What is the Community of Practice?

The center’s community of practice supports the infusion of design thinking pedagogies across Elon curricula, fostering inclusive, equitable, and transformational project-based learning under uncertain and shifting conditions.

Monthly

CoP members participate in monthly meetings with the community to explore best practices for infusing design thinking methods and processes into their curriculums.

Action-Oriented

Over the course of the CoP, each participant frames, explores, generates, prototypes, and cultivates design thinking activities, assignments, and/or projects that meet their curricular goals.

Adaptable

Facilitators work with each CoP member to ensure individual goals are met while creating a productive and synergetic environment.

Collaborative

Participants share ideas, resources, strategies, and tools to co-create, prototype, and test diverse, equitable, and inclusive design pedagogies.
