Dr. Susie Wise - Design for Belonging: How to Build Inclusion and Collaboration in Your Community. This is episode 485 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.

Dr. Susie Wise is the founder and former director of the K12 Lab at the Stanford University d.school--also known as the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design and co-created Liberatory Design.

Dr. Wise is a design leader with experience in the education, tech, and the social sectors. She coaches leaders in equity design and innovation practices. She teaches at the d.school at Stanford and coaches with the Mira Fellowship.

Susie coaches school leaders across the country to address their diversity, equity and inclusion issues. The tools that are being used to create change in schools can be applied to any organization.

Why does a sense of belonging matter? Because if we feel like an outsider it affects our school or work performance, and ultimately our physical and mental health. It can also lead to more dramatic consequences like a person becoming vulnerable to foreign and domestic terrorist recruitment tactics.

Today we are focused on her book - Design for Belonging: How to Build Inclusion and Collaboration in Your Communities.

So much to learn!
