Innovation
 Innovation means first different,
then better. It is a fundamentally
different way of doing things
with better, and perhaps
different, outcomes.
 Both the 'different' and the
'better' must be significant and
substantial.

‘‘But if you define innovation as doing things radically
differently rather than just doing them well, right now many
of the best charters are triumphs of execution rather than
Innovation’’. Washor's piece for The Huffington Post,
published in October, 2009:

Therefore, to innovate is to question the 'box' in which we
operate and to innovate outside of it as well as within.”

When it comes to education,
what does the word Innovation
mean to you?

“Innovation in education should be defined as
making it easier for teachers and students to
do the things THEY want to do.
These are the innovations that succeed, scale and sustain.”
– Rob Abel, USA
Innovation in Education
EducationEducation

Educators need to think of innovation as those
actions that significantly challenge key
assumptions about schools and the way they
operate.
EducationEducation
Innovation in Education

“a process of intentional influence with the ability to
motivate others to gain support to achieve a common goal ”
Good leaders…made or born?

Innovation Leadership and its formal preparation, the
most recent focus in education reform to improve
schools to serve all students well.
Inter-institutional
collaborations in
program delivery and
evaluation drives these
new directions and forms
of innovation.

In recent years, schools have charted new direction in
their graduate leadership preparation programs using
innovative approaches to: student selection,
content,
instructional strategies
and
 field experiences
to address new priorities
for leadership.

How to Travel the Globe?

Driving Innovation and Collaboration
-helps your organization
become successful in;
-identifying new ideas,
-implementing and
- integrating them into
operations.
You must engrain this cycle
into the DNA of your
organization.

Innovations -commonly thought of as new and game changing.
However many innovations are merely improvements on
something that already exists.
Its important to create a
culture of innovation
within your organization,
- which means,
supporting productive
failure.

“Productive Failure”:
A Teaching Method
which leads to Short
Term Failure, but
Long Term Success.
NOA KAGEYAMA, PH.D.

Huge improvements made by charter schools and
organizations in traditional outcomes for students,
most are not new or different.
EducationEducation
Many of the proposed
improvements in
teacher education &
evaluation, student
assessment, and
school design in
traditional public
schools do not seem
to be novel.

‘We need
solutions that
are both
different and
better.’
EducationEducation
Yet the challenges in improving learning and life
outcomes require true Innovation.
As Washor states,

If we redesign schools to get better results on
20th-century outcomes, our students will be poorly
served.
EducationEducation

EducationEducation
most
inventions
commonplace
today are
results of
thousands of
iterations
based both on
success and
failure.

A brand new generation of
institutional leaders is taking the
reins. The world has continued to
shrink and is much smaller.
Technology continued an unabated,
unchecked progression; what is
now futuristic has become
commonplace.
Blink . . ten years pass by. It’s now 2017!.
Complexity is the daily norm, and CHANGE the only constant.
Opportunities, problems and grand challenges abound.

The answer has everything
to do with Education . . . or
how education is adapted
to the realities and
wonderful opportunities of
the not-too-distant future.
Will this new generation of leaders be innovators,
or followers?..., strong, resilient problem solvers,
or servants of the status quo?
EducationEducation

The reason for education
is simple and straight
forward that is:
- to prepare students,
predominantly young
adults, for future success.
Education
- process of facilitating learning, transferring
knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits to
others, through….. storytelling, discussion,
teaching, training, or research.
EducationEducation

If core competencies are assumed
(engineers need to engineer,
accountants need to account,
writers need to write and so on…)
What do educators need to provide for the next
generation of positive, innovative leaders?
What will be the key elements
of an education that might help
students become life-long
learners, successful in
multiple, varied career paths?

or, Should we play it safe and have them
attend schools that look like the schools we
attended 30 years ago and our parents 60 years
ago and grandparents, 90 years ago?
Is it better for students to be involved in innovative
practices than participate in highly effective
traditional programs?
Currently, most schools are not much
different than the one our grandparents
attended in the 1920s!.

Recent Trends in K-12 Education
Some say that this change has been a
long time coming.
EducationEducation
There is an analogy that uses fairy
tale character Rip van Winkle to
describe this;

Near to the town, in a small cottage, lived Rip
Van Winkle, known to all as a harmless,
drinking, shiftless lout, who never would work..,
but roamed about,
always ready with
jest and song-Idling,
tippling all day long.

He was a character in
a Washington Irving
short story who went to
sleep before the
American War of
Independence.
He went to sleep to run away from his nagging
wife, and woke up to find that his wife had
died,...

He woke up twenty years later, after the
war and found himself in an independent
US A.

Rip van Winkle has just woken up from his 100
year slumber and stares in amazement about
how much everything has changed in the time
that he was asleep,
He almost did
not recognize
anything, until he
went into a
classroom.

…. nothing much
has changed in
the K-12
educational system
since he fell asleep
in 1906.
When Rip van Winkle went to a classroom,
he recognized immediately that it was a
classroom because…..

So, What is
Innovation
Leadership?

Innovation Leadership in Education
A technique that combines different leadership styles to
influence to produce creative ideas, innovative products
and services.
In recent years, schools have
charted new approaches in leading
Innovation by transforming :
Yourself, your Students and your
School to cultivate the habits and
mindsets of innovators, to open
the floodgates of creativity and
generate ideas that you can take
with confidence.
Dr. David Gliddon (2006) developed the competency model of innovation leaders and
established the concept of innovation leadership at Penn State University.

As an approach to
organization development,
innovation
leadership can be used to
support the achievement of
the mission or vision of an
organization or school.
Innovation Leadership
In an ever changing world with new technologies and
processes, it is becoming necessary to think innovatively in
order to ensure their continued success and stay competitive.

Once affirmed, it needs to be able
to be articulated by all.
- when achieved, all can then align
their efforts behind the vision and
through self-reference and
development the school will reach.
Translated into reality by means of
a Teaching Framework or belief
system.
Successful schools have a clear sense of direction
through Vision Statement. – shared & derived through a
visioning process involving all members of the school.

 Education leaders are managing change at a
frenzied pace (along with the rest of society’s
leaders).
Managing Change
K-12 education environments
are designed for slow reaction
to change, but as the world
changes and becomes a place
that requires constant
innovation,
-so must our leaders take on
roles for managing change
for continuous improvement.

To‘teach the way they learn’ requires innovation
in education incorporating 21st
Century Skills &
new teaching methodology.

-shared by Cheryl Lemke on
Innovative Leadership.
Seven steps to becoming an Innovative Leader.
President and CEO of the education
technology consulting firm Metiri Group

An innovative leaders cultivate a
culture of critical and creative
thinking that takes on challenges.

Embrace the challenge
Step1.
Innovative leaders do not delegate creativity and
innovation; they lead it.
And, creativity topped the list
of the most important
leadership qualities needed
over the next five years.
(according to a 2010 IBM poll of
1,500 CEOs.)

When they drive change,
they both tolerate and
criticize digital
technology — and the
way kids use it.
Drive change through collective creativity and
knowledge
Step2.
Innovative leaders show creativity and seek knowledge.

They think for themselves, and
not just follow rules blindly.
A shift from rules to principles.
Schools are open to different
ideas and break established
rules when they no longer
make sense.
Shape the culture
They ask hard questions and expect the school community to
grapple with the questions alongside them. And they
really listen to what educators say.
Step3.
Innovative leaders create a culture of risk, change,
critical and creative thinking.

Effective Professional Learning is:
sustained over time, content-based
in professional learning.
Communities focused on concrete
tasks in teaching, assessment,
observation and reflection modeled
in authentic settings.
Establish a Professional Learning System
Step 4.
Innovative leaders create professional learning
communities in their schools. According to
Professional Learning in the Learning Profession:,

Then they get out of the way
and let their staff figure out the
details.
Step 5.
Decide and systematize
Innovative leaders create a blueprint of principles,
professional development, strategies, approaches
and resources.

"Without that, you’re not going
to be able to orchestrate a lot
of the things that they’re
doing,” Lemke said.
Ensure digital access and infrastructure
Step 6.
Innovative leaders will build the capacity for teachers
and students to learn through blogs, wikis and virtual
environments by laying a solid infrastructure
foundation.

 As devices become more ubiquitous, mobile learning for
students and adults will support anywhere, anytime
access to learning opportunities and open multiple
pathways to learning.
Mobile learning is
growing faster than
ever globally.
The instructional design
of mobile learning
requires that learning
become more modular,
contextual, and...

Powerful tools are
needed to ensure
learners can connect,
collaborate and
communicate effectively
in an academic setting
on the go.
“bite-sized” to provide flexibility and clear outcomes
before moving to the next level of learning.

 Although software application service models have
been around for more than 30 years, the advent of
tools such as Google and,..
Cloud Computing
…cloud computing is rapidly
changing the field and
models for deploying and
leveraging technology in
academic institutions and
K-12 learning environments.
Hosting is remote.

"The people that you have in your
system right now are capable of
doing the kind of innovation we want
to happen," she said. "Many of them
just don’t have the opportunity.”
In conclusion, she said that
Innovative leaders need to give them
that opportunity!.
Step 7.
Demand accountability
Innovative leaders delegate responsibility but put
accountability in place. Begin by setting low stakes for
people to be comfortable with taking risks, failing and
learning by experience.

Innovation Leadership: Change How You
Interact
Here’s an
innovation
leadership
checklist to
make it easier!
Leading Innovation in Leadership
 Requires a new way of thinking.
 Leadership and commitment at all
levels.
 Training in current 21st Century Skills
& methods.
 Incorporating 21st
Century skills in the
Classroom.
 Upgrade your Lessons to 21st
Century
Skill & Literacy
 Implementation of 21st
Century in
Resource Management
 – Just do it!
( Need to do more than talk.)

1. Elevate your self-confidence and park
your ego.
Trust that your position as leader is strengthened
when you exhibit innovation leadership — the
welcoming of ideas.
If you are insecure
when others’ talents
shine, you will
squash the spirit of
innovation.
Innovation Checklist

The biggest mistake in innovation leadership,
is lack of empowerment.
Leaders delegate and think that will engage
employees.
It won’t. Delegation is
not empowerment.
Delegation
communicates, stay in
line.

2. Don’t delegate. Empower!
To get people to complain less and innovate
more, share power. People complain when they
feel helpless to change things.
Delegation tells them that
you are still in power.
Empowerment gives them
a true voice and
accountability for results.

3. Educate them on the true organization picture.
Un-empowered people see and verbalize what
they are feeling. Share the bigger picture.
Example: a technical
support dept. in a
School system had
uninspired staffs who
complained about
the work load, the
students’ attitudes,
and the stress.

The leader began rotating the tech support staffs out into the
school and classes to see the impact that broken technology
has on students. This transformed the staffs’ attitudes and
actions on;
leading change,
 staff engagement,
teamwork, and
 delivering the ultimate customer
service.
It turns interaction obstacles into
interpersonal success.

4. Make it safe to innovate.
Are you a harsh realist that slams ideas that seem
odd? If you want people to suggest ideas, welcome
the ideas.
It doesn’t mean
each idea will
work.
It doesn’t mean
each idea will be
implemented.

4. Make it safe to innovate.
Encourage ideas and applaud the courage the
employees show in suggestions.
True innovators know
that innovation is not
pretty at the start.

5. Check your beliefs. One leadership team realized that
they believed employees had to earn the right to innovate
and make suggestions.
They reached out to top performers, not to
everyone.
As we worked
through their beliefs,
they realized that
employee
engagement is not
an award you give
to top performers.

Employee engagement and empowerment are
how you foster top performance.
It’s how you get less
complaints and more
actionable ideas.
Empower and engage!

Imagine an 'Education Nation,' a learning society
where the education of children and adults is the
highest national priority, on par with a strong
economy, high employment, and national security,
-where learners also take
advantage of informal
experiences offered
through museums,
libraries, churches, youth
groups, and parks as well
as via the media.
Leading Innovation in Leadership

Latest Trends in K-12 Education
Thankfully, educators are starting to change with the
times.
The trend in K-12 education
these days is that learning
institutions should try their
best to keep up with the
recent advances in
technology to better teach
their students.

The computer and the internet's evolution these past
few years have been staggeringly fast..
A computer that
used to fill an entire
building in 1965 has
about the same
computing power as
a modern-day smart
phone.

Most of the popular forms of media like TV, radio, and
print are slowly being nudged from their pedestal by
the internet.
Everything seems to
have changed
drastically these
years, and this
includes the K-12
education system.

Question on Innovation Leadership

Data poverty in K-12 education from the 1990s and
2000s, had built a foundation for conversations around
reform based on standards-based education.

 Too often Instructional design models don’t focus on
starting with the research on how students learn best.
What goes on when students actually learn?
Neuroscience, Youth Development Research
and How Kids Learn Best
Question:
How do we design new
models that build upon
the research for how
students learn best?

Instructional Design:
"the science and art of creating detailed specifications for
the development, evaluation and maintenance of
situations which facilitate learning and performance" –
Richey, Klein & Tracey, The Instructional Design Knowledge Base: Theory,
Research, and Practice, 2011, p. 3
In simpler terms,
instructional design is:
Designing instruction that
is based on the research
of how people learn.

Knowing when to use particular instructional strategies
in the course of a learning event.
Identifying what tools are
best suited to meet a
learning goal
Identifying where problems
may arise in the
implementation of instruction
Knowing why instruction
is/was effective or ineffective
Instructional design:

As technology is rapidly changing the world around us,
many people worry that technology will replace human
intelligence.
Some educators worry that
there will be no students to
teach anymore in the near
future as technology might
take over a lot of tasks and
abilities that we have been
teaching our students for
decades.

Here are 9 things that will shape the future of education
during the next 20 years.
The thing is: Education will never disappear. It will
just take up different forms.
1. Diverse time and place.
2. Personalized development /
learning.
3. Free choice.
4. Project based.
5. Field experience.
6. Data interpretation.
7. Exams will change completely.
8. Student ownership.
9. Mentoring will become more
important.

Equality vs Equity in the Digital gap.

Students will have more opportunities to learn at
different times in different places. eLearning tools
facilitate opportunities for remote, self-paced
learning.
1.Diverse time and place.
Classrooms will be flipped,
which means the
theoretical part is learned
outside the classroom,
whereas the practical part
shall be taught face to face,
interactively.

Design, creativity, entrepreneurship, performance and
innovation combine to foster some of the most
student-centered educational environments.
This will empower
students with voice and
choice in how they
learn, showing work on
what they have learned
and providing powerful,
personalized learning
experiences.

2. Personalized learning.
Students will learn with study tools that adapt to
the capabilities of a student.
This means above
average students shall
be challenged with
harder tasks and
questions when a
certain level is
achieved.

This can result in to positive learning experiences
and will diminish the amount of students losing
confidence about their academic abilities.
Furthermore, teachers
will be able to see clearly
which students need
help in which areas.

Students who experience difficulties with a subject
will get the opportunity to practice more until they
reach the required level.
Students will be
positively reinforced
during their individual
learning processes.

While content increases in
complexity, the school
environment does not change
dramatically.
Give students the chance to take charge of activities,
even when they may not quite have all the content skills.
Believe in Students' Capacity to Lead
Students experience math,
science, English, and history,
plus other subjects, and
interact with education
experts (teachers).

3.Free choice.
Though every subject that is taught aims for the
same destination, the road leading towards that
destination can vary per student.
Similarly to the
personalized learning
experience, students will
be able to modify their
learning process with
tools they feel are
necessary for them.

3.Free choice.
Students will learn with different devices, different
programs and techniques based on their own
preference.
Blended learning,
flipped classrooms
and BYOD (Bring Your
Own Device) form
important terminology
within this change.

4. Project based.
As careers are adapting to the future freelance
economy, students of today will adapt to project
based learning and working.
This means they
have to learn how
to apply their skills
in shorter terms to a
variety of situations.

4. Project based.
Students should already get acquainted with
project based learning in high school.
This is when
organizational,
collaborative, and
time management
skills can be taught as
basics that every
student can use in
their further academic
careers.

Projects can show students how diverse disciplines as
English, Science and Math are interrelated - can be
developed to accommodate almost any curriculum.
For example,
A science teacher builds an
Electrolyzer with the students to
demonstrate Electrolysis of water to
its gases form. They learned all the
skills of the built they were engaged
in the process.
They enjoyed the build of the project and gained confidence in
their abilities.

PBL: Leading Innovation in Schools

Because technology can facilitate more efficiency
in certain domains, curricula will make room for
skills that solely require human knowledge and
face-to-face interaction. Thus,
experience in
‘the field’ will be
emphasized
within courses.

Schools will provide more opportunities for students
to obtain real-world skills that are representative to
their jobs.
This means curricula will
create more room for
students to fulfill
internships, mentoring
projects and
collaboration projects
(e.g.).

Computers will soon take care of every statistical
analysis, and describe and analyze data and
predict future trends.
Therefore, the human
interpretation of these
data will become a
much more important
part of the future
curricula.

Though mathematics is considered one of three
literacy, it is without a
doubt that the
manual part of
this literacy will
become
irrelevant in the
near future.

Applying the theoretical
knowledge to numbers,
and using human
reasoning to infer logic
and trends from these
data will be the norm.
Data interpretation will become a fundamental new
aspect of this literacy.

The combination of the maker movement with
robotics is important to foster innovation hubs in
cities, as well as..
..much-needed,
relevant educational
experiences in K-12
which include coding
and programming.

Coding & Programming
Programming and innovative designs can, and will
change the world.
From Richmond,
Virginia to Silicon
Valley—the ability
to code is taking on
an unprecedented
level of importance.

Schools are being designed with programming as a
new language that students must know.
Whether it is built upon an
hour of coding, maker
challenges, and robotics
competitions, students
need important
programming and coding
skills to succeed in a
digital economy.

7. Exams will change completely.
As coursework platforms will assess students
capabilities at each step, measuring their
competencies through Q&A might become irrelevant,
or might not suffice.
Many argue that exams
are now designed in
such a way, that
students cram their
materials, and forget the
next day.

Educators worry that exams might not validly
measure what students should be capable of when
they enter their first job.
As the factual
knowledge of a student
can be measured during
their learning process,
the application of their
knowledge is best tested
when they work on
projects in the field.

Standards still matter to achieve world-class,
internationally-benchmarked levels of learning, but
academics, skills and knowledge come together in new
ways to support whole child development.
I repeat: world-
class standards
are critical for
ensuring equity.

System designs shift to ask whether students are
getting what they need in real time.
This shift align our
systems to ensure
youth are being
prepared for the jobs in
the future, especially
around design,
innovation, robotics
and new fields
leveraging technology.

8. Student Ownership.
Students will become more and more involved in
forming their curricula.
Maintaining a curriculum
that is contemporary, up-
to-date and useful is only
realistic when
professionals as well as
‘youngsters’ are involved.

Student Ownership classrooms include students in
planning, implementation, and assessments. Their
involvement in decision making will place more work on
them, which can be a good thing.
Teachers must become
comfortable with changing
their leadership style from
directive to consultative --
from "Do as I say" to
"Based on your needs, let's
co-develop and implement
a plan of action.“

8. Student ownership.
Critical input
from students
on the content
and durability of
their courses is
a must for an
all-embracing
study program.

9. Mentoring will become more important.
In 20 years, students will incorporate so much
independence in their learning process,
that mentoring
will become
fundamental to
student success.

9. Mentoring will become more important.
Though the future of
education seems
remote, the teacher
and educational
institution are vital to
academic
performance.
Teachers only form a central point in the jungle of
information that our students will be paving their
way through performance.

Mentoring
- an innovative practice being implemented in schools
across the nation. Mentoring consists of experienced
teachers assisting new teachers to the field.
Mentoring students to mentor
other students are on the rise
- helping new students to
integrate into the school,
assist in conflict resolution
and do peer tutoring.
Mentoring provides
opportunity to be leaders and
helps unify a student body.
