Innovating Inside the Box....

"Step outside of the box" is a cry to try something, new, different and dare I say innovative?  I question the suggestion that we must "step out" in order to make change.  It is not realistic for educators to leave the school house walls to bring about change, for change must come from the inside. We must use and reuse the resources available differently to help our students think creatively and critically.

In Learner-Centered Innovation, Katie Martin @kmartin says:

"If we want to create learning experiences that unleash the talent in all students, teachers, and administrators, we have to work together to push back against existing norms and traditions and intentionally design a culture that serves the larger goals."

To provide our students with the skills and mindset to tackle the future, we must push back against the box and make change from the inside out.

"We must rethink why, what, and how we learn in schools for students to thrive in the information economy of today and tomorrow, not yesterday."
