I hope you will find many helpful resources here that will encourage you to unlock your thinking potential, and discover the power of your design-mind in your educational setting.
Katrin Oddleifson Robertson
Since 1982, Katrin Oddleifson Robertson has been deeply interested in the role that design intelligence has in the learning process. She studied art and art history at Oberlin College and received her BA in 1984. Katrin went on to study education at Stanford University where she explored the nature of cognition, thinking and the arts with Elliot Eisner as her mentor, receiving her MA 1987. Katrin has had a long career as an educator, teaching elementary and middle school language arts, social studies and art as well as teaching at Eastern Michigan and the University of Michigan in their Teacher Education program's since 1999. Katrin founded Wholemindesign in 2009 to promote the concept of using one's capacity to design as a thinking tool, and to create materials to help individuals use their design capacities more fully when learning.
