Learning to Identify and Understand K-12 Innovation

About This Chat:

Everywhere you turn in K-12 education these days, it seems that businesses and nonprofits are trying to do something “innovative,” whether it’s by changing classroom technology approaches, staffing practices, and professional development structures, or adjusting funding models or education policies. But how much of that work really lives up to the word’s meaning? And how do you tell the difference? Our chat guests will help you understand how to differentiate between practices in K-12 education that truly use new approaches to solve old problems and others that merely give a new look to an older, more traditional approach.

Guests:

Anthony Kim, president, Education Elements, Inc.

Laurie Racine, co-founder and managing director, Startl

Ian Quillen, staff writer, Education Week Digital Directions, will moderate this chat.

Note: No special equipment other than Internet access is needed to participate in any of our text-based chats. Participants may begin submitting questions on the morning of the chat.
