Business Proposal: Social Emotional Learing Program

In EDUC 790: Business of Education, I was introduced to intensive exploration and discussion of selected topics in education. This is the foundation for my final project of designing a program and action to call for investment.

My project is about an exclusice SEL for Archimedes Academy in Hanoi, Vietnam where I worked in 2021. Applying empathy map in another course, EDUC 767: Educational Innovation and Technology, Integrative Seminar I, I designed “Words of Encouragement” to show the needs for SEL for AAH’s students and how promissing my solution can be.

Thanks to weekly groups discussion about different case study of education business in EDUC 790, I gains various insights and applied that in designing the offering for my SEL solution.

The Design Thinking Process

Driven by a passion for education and a desire to empower educators and learners, I recently embarked on a transformative journey through the world of educational technology. This course delved deep into the exciting realm of EdTech, equipping me with the tools and knowledge necessary to leverage technology for impactful learning experiences.

Overview

I sharpened my ability to critically analyze the current landscape of education, pinpointing areas where technology can bridge gaps and enhance learning outcomes.

Empathy

 Through user research and scenario building, I developed a keen understanding of the needs, pain points, and aspirations of different stakeholders.

Define

Personas go beyond demographics, providing a detailed picture of your target audience’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This allows me to better understand their needs, goals, and motivations, leading to more relevant and impactful solutions.

Ideation

Armed with empathy and knowledge, I embarked on a brainstorming process, generating a multitude of creative ideas for educational ventures.

Prototype

Bringing my ideas to life, I prototyped my solution to refine and iterate on my designs. This is the storyboard of my prototype. Also, I created a website to enhance its experience. https://tarheels.live/writee/

About me

About Thuc Anh Pham

Career Goal

My professional goal is to provide a technology-enhanced, comprehensive approach to education in Vietnam. I want to change the fact that Vietnamese students receive rigorous instruction but little assistance with their growth outside of the classroom.

My Journey at MEITE

I’m currently enrolled in UNC at Chaple Hill’s MEITE program on the Innovative Officer track. I now have practical innovation skills thanks to the Design Thinking exercises, and I can’t wait to find out how new technologies like AI will impact people’s lives. In addition, the Business of Education has expanded my understanding of the business aspects of the education sector, which I consider will be extremely beneficial for my future leadership endeavors. Most significantly, I am studying a novel facet of the educational system to support youth development, a social-emotional problem that is often overlooked in my country, Vietnam.

After Graduation

I want to work for an edTech business or an innovation department once I graduate from MEITE to get more hands-on experience integrating technology into the classroom. When my OPT ends, I’ll go back to Vietnam and use what I’ve learned to make Archimedes School Education System in Hanoi, where I have been offered a position, the best K–12 institution in the country.
