LensDeck is a professional development tool for educators designed to help cultivate empathy. Each deck encourages educators to get curious about the backgrounds, cultures, and lived experiences of their students through the creation of student personas. https://www.lensdeck.com/about daily 0.75 2023-05-01 https://www.lensdeck.com/how-it-works daily 0.75 2026-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6099c4c602e0b846972f59cb/1624402604732-9JH3JSTHK1XAPPI1BXLX/How+it+Works+-+Step+1-Current+View.png How it Works - 1 Setup and Brave Space To start playing, divide the deck into three separate piles by color and keep the cards face down. Shuffle each pile before you begin. Once the cards are set up, we recommend that teams establish Brave Space or communication norms before jumping in to preserve confidentiality and encourage vulnerability. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6099c4c602e0b846972f59cb/1624402988013-YGB8MPAEEP00T3SI7ATK/How+it+Works+-+Step+2-Current+View.png How it Works - 2 Identify the Student When the team is ready, turn over one teal card to reveal a student. Each team member should share at least one thing they observe, touching on the students’ perceived gender, race, ethnicity, culture, style, etc. while striving for objectivity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6099c4c602e0b846972f59cb/1624410057952-L5DZ5LUST68P2P5OIMUG/How+it+Works+-+Step+3-Current+View.png How it Works - 3 Reveal the Learning Capital Turn over one pink card and place it next to the student. This is a students’ learning capital, an aspect of their identity that makes them a unique learner. Discuss how the learning capital influenced the initial observations shared about the student in step one and reflect on how that might impact the student in the school or learning community. Participants may turn over additional pink cards to complete the student persona. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6099c4c602e0b846972f59cb/1624410553200-O8ZXCRNG0TUM22M18CBQ/How+it+Works+-+Step+4-Current+View.png How it Works - 4 Connecting the Learning Goal Turn over one orange card to reveal the learning goal. This card challenges participants to create a student-centered learning experience for the student persona developed in steps one and two. During this step, focus on being purposeful about: Moving students toward becoming independent learners Increasing opportunities for student voice and choice throughout a lesson or learning experience Designing learning opportunities that truly meet the student’s unique and individual needs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6099c4c602e0b846972f59cb/1624118162096-TQP18FPWWDUUDM8MMQHC/How+it+Works_Target+Audience-01.png How it Works - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6099c4c602e0b846972f59cb/1624118188683-K0JDKJI8ED77D9AKURWG/How+it+Works_Target+Audience-04.png How it Works - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6099c4c602e0b846972f59cb/1624118179577-4EUC4ZP1GMZW7CYIAVZC/How+it+Works_Target+Audience-03.png How it Works - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6099c4c602e0b846972f59cb/1624118172532-5B1UPR38QWKD3K4CZF8H/How+it+Works_Target+Audience-02.png How it Works - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.lensdeck.com/faq daily 0.75 2026-01-27 https://www.lensdeck.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2023-05-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6099c4c602e0b846972f59cb/1624415346614-JZMHTS39D37Q7W6WYMXI/Testimonial+-+Image-Current+View.png Submit a Testimonial https://www.lensdeck.com/subscribe daily 0.75 2023-05-01
