 WHAT IS INNOVATION IN EDUCATION?

• IN GENERAL, INNOVATION IS BASED IN THE CREATION OR REDESIGN OF PRODUCTS, PROCESSES, OR BUSINESS MODELS
FOR THE BENEFIT OF AN ORGANIZATION. INNOVATION IN EDUCATION IS SIMILARLY FOCUSED ON MAKING POSITIVE
CHANGES, BUT IN THIS CASE, THESE CHANGES WILL DIRECTLY BENEFIT A CLASSROOM, SCHOOL, DISTRICT,
UNIVERSITY, OR EVEN AN ORGANIZATION’S TRAINING AND LEARNING PRACTICES.EDUCATORS AND ADMINISTRATORS
TAKE A VARIETY OF BOTH LARGE- AND SMALL-SCALE APPROACHES TO THIS PROCESS. FOR INSTANCE, INNOVATION IN
EDUCATION MIGHT INCLUDE: AN EDUCATOR RECOGNIZING A NEED FOR IDEAS TO BE BETTER SHARED AMONG OTHER
TEACHERS IN THEIR DISTRICT AND DEVELOPING PROCESSES THAT MORE EASILY FACILITATE THAT.A PROFESSOR
IDENTIFYING A GAP IN UNDERSTANDING AMONG THE STUDENTS IN THEIR CLASSROOM AND BRAINSTORMING NEW,
CREATIVE WAYS TO APPROACH THAT TOPIC.AN ADMINISTRATOR IDENTIFYING THE NEED FOR BETTER
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN TEACHERS AND PARENTS, AND WORKING TO CREATE AN ONLINE SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS
FOR MORE TRANSPARENCY INTO THEIR CHILD’S PROGRESS.WHILE EACH OF THESE FORMS OF INNOVATION IS VERY
DIFFERENT, EACH INVOLVES AN EDUCATOR FOLLOWING THE INNOVATION PROCESS IN AN EFFORT TO IMPROVE THE
WAYS IN WHICH THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
 WHY IS INNOVATION IN EDUCATION
IMPORTANT?
• INNOVATION IS A VITAL COMPONENT OF PROGRESS ACROSS INDUSTRIES, AND EDUCATION IS NO DIFFERENT. “SCHOOLS DON’T
EXIST IN A SILO, TEACHERS DON’T EXIST IN A SILO, [AND] BUSINESSES DON’T EXIST IN A DIFFERENT REALM,” REISS MEDWED
SAYS. “WE’RE ALL AT A TABLE TOGETHER, TRYING TO SOLVE THE WORLD’S PROBLEMS.”INNOVATION IN EDUCATION IS
ESPECIALLY SIGNIFICANT, CONSIDERING THE YOUNG MINDS MOLDED BY THE EDUCATION SYSTEM TODAY WILL BE THOSE
LEADING THE CHARGE FOR INNOVATION TOMORROW. AND IF THE RAPIDLY CHANGING NEEDS OF THE CURRENT WORKFORCE
ARE ANY INDICATION OF WHAT’S TO COME FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS, THIS INVESTMENT WILL BE NECESSARY IN ORDER TO
CONTINUE MAKING PROGRESS AT THE SPEED AND QUALITY THAT WE ARE TODAY.“INDUSTRY IS MOVING AT A RAPID PACE,”
REISS MEDWED EXPLAINS. “WE’RE LIVING IN THE SPACE OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION. THERE ARE NEEDS IN BUSINESS AND
IN [OTHER] INDUSTRIES THAT TEN YEARS AGO, WE NEVER ANTICIPATED FOR THE WORKFORCE, AND AS THAT RATE OF CHANGE
TAKES OFF…WE MUST [WORK TO] CATCH UP.” TO CATCH UP, EDUCATORS MUST UPDATE THE OUTDATED PROCESSES AND
APPROACHES DEFINING SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND INTRODUCE PRACTICES THAT BETTER
PREPARE STUDENTS TO FUNCTION IN THE FUTURE. THIS INCLUDES, MOST PROMINENTLY, CHANGES IN CURRICULA AND
HANDS-ON EXPOSURE TO THE EXPANSIVE DIGITAL TOOLS BEING USED ACROSS INDUSTRIES TODAY.
 HOW TO INNOVATE IN THE EDUCATION
SECTOR
MANY PROFESSIONALS HAVE IDEAS ABOUT HOW THEY MIGHT IMPROVE THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM, YET VERY FEW POSSESS THE TOOLS AND SUPPORT
NEEDED TO TURN THEIR PASSION FROM AN ABSTRACT IDEA INTO A REALITY.REISS MEDWED BELIEVES THAT INNOVATION IN EDUCATION INCLUDES THREE
KEY STEPS:EXAMINE YOUR CURRENT SITUATION. THIS SHOULD INCLUDE AN EXAMINATION OF YOUR EXPERIENCE FOLLOWED BY A MENTAL EXPLORATION
OF HOW THAT EXPERIENCE COULD BE IMPROVED UPON. ASK YOURSELF THREE QUESTIONS TO GET THIS PROCESS GOING, INCLUDING, “WHAT IS THE
PROBLEM?” “HOW CAN I ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM TO MAKE IT BETTER?” AND “WHAT TOOLS DO I HAVE AT MY DISPOSAL TO ASSIST IN THIS PROCESS?”MAKE
SMALL-SCALE CHANGES. ONCE YOU’VE EXPLORED THE ABOVE QUESTIONS AND THE ANSWERS ARE FORMALIZED, YOU SHOULD TRY TO MAKE THAT
CHANGE ON A SMALL-SCALE WITHIN YOUR OWN WORLD.BROADEN YOUR APPROACH & ACCEPT TO FEEDBACK. ANALYZE THE OUTCOMES OF THAT
EXPERIMENT AND IDENTIFY WHAT FURTHER SUPPORT MIGHT BE NEEDED TO EITHER HONE THE IDEA OR RESTRUCTURE IT ALL TOGETHER.THIS FINAL STEP IS
PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT AND WILL REQUIRE THE MOST TIME AND EFFORT. WITHIN IT, YOU WILL LIKELY LEAN ON EXISTING DATA ABOUT YOUR
SUBJECT, WHICH MIGHT INCLUDE EXAMINING PAST ARTIFACTS, DOING RESEARCH, SPEAKING WITH THOSE WHO HAVE TRIED TO INNOVATE IN THIS SPACE
BEFORE YOU, AND, PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANTLY, IDENTIFYING YOUR STAKEHOLDERS.“ONE OF THE BIG [COMPONENTS] OF INNOVATION IN EDUCATION IS
MAKING SURE STUDENTS AND PARENTS ARE AT THE TABLE,” REISS MEDWED SAYS. “THERE’S HIERARCHY [IN PLACE] TO KEEP THOSE STAKEHOLDERS OUT,
BUT HOW CAN YOU INNOVATE WITHOUT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE YOUR LEARNERS SITTING WITH YOU IN THE PROCESS OF DESIGN?”TO PROPERLY INNOVATE
WITH ALL THE APPROPRIATE VOICES BEING HEARD, REISS MEDWED SUGGESTS “ROLLING OUT A BROADER-SCALE EXPERIENCE WITH ALL OF THE
STAKEHOLDERS ENGAGED,” FOLLOWED BY A FEEDBACK LOOP. SHE SIMILARLY STRESSES THE IMPORTANCE OF SELF-REFLECTION, INCLUDING
ACKNOWLEDGING WHEN YOU NEED TO “RE-TOOL,” PIVOT IN YOUR PROCESS, CANCEL IT ALTOGETHER, OR BRING YOUR IDEA TO SCALE.
