The Power of Empowering Students, with Dr. John Spencer (Part 2)

We finish our conversation about empowering students with Dr. John Spencer by discussing a few more sections of the book, Empower: What Happens When Students Own Their Learning. We then expand our conversation to design thinking and the importance of creativity by digging into his previous book, LAUNCH: Using Design Thinking to Boost Creativity and Bring Out the Maker in Every Student.

Dr. Spencer talks about the value of using the LAUNCH process to stimulate creativity and develop problem-solving skills. He says, “In a world of artificial intelligence, and automation, and all these trends that we’re seeing, creativity becomes, I think, the most essential skill.”
