A NEW, EVIDENCE-BASED FRAMEWORK FOR PROMOTING INNOVATION IN SCHOOLS AND CLASSROOM

Are you ready to infuse new life into your classroom, school, or educational community? Inquiry-Driven Innovation presents an actionable framework for fostering innovation that is effective and dynamic, following the latest findings from Project Zero, a research center at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

You’ll access a flexible framework for promoting innovation in education, driven by educators inquiring about their own unique surroundings. Whether you aim to rethink current practice by bringing people together in new ways, reimagining the physical learning space, introducing novel curricula, or any other number of changes, this book shows why we need intentional and sustained innovation now more than ever and how to make it happen. It proposes an approach to innovation that holds meaning, purpose, and growth for the entire educational community. Read this book to learn how you can implement evidence-based innovation strategies in your own educational setting.

“Building on experience from around the world, Liz Dawes Duraisingh and Andrea Sachdeva show in insightful and practical ways how we can transform pedagogical paradigms to educate children for their future, rather than for our past.”
―Andreas Schleicher, Director for the Directorate of Education and Skills, OECD

“If the need to be agile and creative on a personal level is not daunting enough, imagine trying to create a culture of innovation and iteration in a school. Often, it becomes the responsibility of a few or gets left to chance. This book offers proven strategies, inspiring case studies and simple frameworks that can intentionally foster a school-wide culture of innovation ― by design!”
―Kiran Bir Sethi, Founder, The Riverside School and Design for Change

“Using powerful arguments for openness to change and diversity of teamwork, this book shows how innovation is both totally necessary and perfectly possible. Clearly written, and attractively illustrated, it will engage would-be innovators everywhere.”
―Andy Hargreaves, Research Professor, Boston College, Director of CHENINE (Change, Engagement & Innovation in Education), University of Ottawa, President & Co-Founder, ARC Education
