"Design for Change helps teachers empower student leadership. Students, as well as teachers, grow as leaders by using the 'FIDS' framework. Their research has proven that cultivating in students these and other twenty-first century skills and social competencies (such as teamwork) has an impact on students’ academic results, develops fundamental character traits, and creates better employment skills for our students."
