Abstract
In our rapidly changing world, preparing students to be engaged citizens and collaborative problem solvers is essential. World Savvy’s Knowledge to Action (K2A) design process supports students in developing skills necessary for the 21st-century workforce and provides the opportunity for students to take action in their local—and sometimes global—communities. Taking action is the final stage of the K2A process and builds from the prototype stage where students create a rough draft that is a potential solution to an issue. Taking action on issues of importance to students brings relevance to the learning experience and leads to deeper engagement. Higher engagement is associated with positive academic outcomes, including achievement and persistence in schools (Center for Mental Health in Schools 2008).
