Field Guide: A Design Thinking Experience
Whether you’re a leader in business, educator, or civic leader, skilled design thinkers will guide you to be a better and more efficient innovator. Gould Academy’s IDEAS Center, inspired by the design collaboration rooms at Stanford’s d.school, is Field Guide’s indoor classroom, and the mountains, woods, and streams of Bethel, Maine are its outdoor playground. Expect plenty of time outside to explore and reflect on the day’s lessons — revel in the rare opportunity to hike, mountain bike, fly fish, take “forest baths,” and tell stories around the fire. Field Guide is a chance to build off of the energy of others and reinspire yourself. You’ll leave with a creative confidence that you can apply to challenges anywhere, a network of fellow practitioners, and a smile you couldn’t contain if you tried. Learn more.

Born in Maine, Mrs. Quinatoa grew up in Western New York and later attended Ithaca College, where she majored in Spanish and Accounting. After graduating Mrs. Quinatoa knew she wanted to teach and share her love of Spanish with young adults, and earned her M.A. of Education from the University of Buffalo. Armed with her new education and desire to explore, she set off to live and teach in Quito, Ecuador where she taught English in elementary schools, improved her Spanish, and learned about Ecuadorian culture. While working at Colegio Menor, a private International School in Quito, Mrs. Quinatoa met her husband, Mr. Edison Quinatoa (who is now a music teacher here at Gould). Mrs. Quinatoa is active! When not attempting every type of exercise, including triathlons, cycling, hiking, swimming, gymnastics, and diving, she loves to read and travel.
