HorizonsAcademy
Horizons Academy, a program under Al Nayzak Organization, provides inquiry-based, constructivist, and learner-centered education programs to students. Following Al Nayzak’s educational philosophy, all instructors are expected to foster active learning, critical thinking, and real-world engagement using the BDA Instructional Model and technology-enhanced strategies.
Horizons Academy is seeking to hire a pool of qualified instructors who can deliver the Critical Design and Thinking course. The course consists of 36 teaching hours that will be delivered either in-person or online, depending on Al Nayzak’s preferences. Instructors will be selected on an on-call basis according to availability at the time of each course.
Critical Design Thinking Course
The Critical Design Thinking (CDT) course aims to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of the Design Thinking process, fostering skills in creative problem-solving, collaboration, and innovation. Students will learn to identify and address real-world challenges by applying the stages of Design Thinking—Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test—while developing passion projects Plans. Through hands-on activities, data analysis, prototyping, and entrepreneurial thinking, students will enhance their ability to iterate solutions, present ideas effectively, and make meaningful social, technological, or environmental impacts.
