HUMAN RESILIENCE:
BY DESIGN
—“I never even knew that I needed teacher training. And now that I have had it with StudioBlended, I cannot believe just how much it changed my life - the technique, the pedagogy, the human resilience.”

Our design studio
Human resilience is part of our design studio with clients and the process is quite iterative, exactly because the human resilience lens may lead to required redesign, until a realistic curriculum design is there for the teaching staff.
Our fresh and innovative approach to curriculum design, makes a healthy value system around human resilience concrete, by translating it into a bespoke design of 5 visible and tangible outputs:
1. A prototype schedule of the pedagogically required presence and absence of teaching staff during delivery (also online)
2. Identification of at least one minimum timeslot a week, for autonomy, mastery and purpose for a teacher
3. Design of impactful communication (formats) around feedback and (formative) assessment moments. Clear guide on how to communicate this to students
4. A technology protocol and communication etiquette for teaching delivery, aligned with your existing protocols
5. A strategic plan for piloting and consolidating the essentially required material (i.e. what to develop first, what can come in year 2 etc).
Curios? Feel free to contact our independent senior advisor and teacher trainer directly:

“During the pandemic, we had to learn how to use new pedagogical tools to work remotely away from the students. This new way of working seemed full of infinite alternatives and I felt too overwhelmed to look into it. What makes the most sense for my practice? How can I find time to learn new techniques given I already have an overloaded schedule? It is in this aspect that Tikvah’s advise and training was so effective for me. In my case, it felt like a revolution.
I never even knew that I needed advise and training on curriculum design. And now that I have had it with StudioBlended, I cannot believe just how much it changed my life - the technique, the pedagogy, the human resilience.
From my very first meetings with Tikvah, she guided me on a journey through my own routine.
In addition to a calmed agenda, I learned from Tikvah how to develop a clear, simple, and effective structure for the design of the courses I teach. I now have more quality time to dedicate to other activities, such as research and individual student guidance. My anxiety has diminished, and the students also realized that my courses are well organized and rooted in strong guidelines.
And it works because, instead of another "method", what Tikvah delivers is individually tailored consultancy. She first listens, then she suggests new paths and possibilities for implementing our work differently, without losing what each individual cares about most.”
