Growing future Innovators: a scoping study
Avoid instrumentalist, overly outcomes
based approaches to designing learning
initiatives. Instead, develop a culture
and practice of open-ended enquiry
and questioning where genuine
experimentation and empowered
questioning can thrive.
Focus heavily on professional development
opportunities for teachers that energize
their pedagogical practice and inspire them
to foster innovation with students.
Seek to align with business and community
partners who can philosophically and
financially support ambitious learning
initiatives as well as innovation frameworks
and objectives.
Identify ways in which the institution itself
can lead change and actively participate in
research and development towards better
ways of doing things.
Integrate the innovation and education
agenda across staff teams rather than
departmentalizing it, developing a staffwide
responsibility and agenda that
encourages continuous and collective
innovation.
Utilize the institution’s own resources
and knowledge of innovation to meet and
grow the ideas and interests of school
constituents.
