  • Students achieve better test scores and attendance rates at the six smaller Baltimore City high schools where teachers have greater control over lessons and principals have more freedom when hiring staff, a new study shows.

      Unfortunately the article says very litttle about what makes these schools "innovative", apart from the autonomy they are granted to tailor programmes, their "best practices" and the addiitonal money made available.

    The "innovation" high schools provide more support for students and more positive learning environments than the city's other high schools

    It's hilarious when you think about it: technology is touted as being one of the key drivers of change, but those people sitting on power over how we use IT in companies and administrations are some of the least capable of embracing change.

    The reactions give even more insight. Trying out innovative new tools is by the respondents regarded as sth that is not key to business processes. You should only be allowed to use tools that are tested. Understandable from some perspectives, but couldn't IT departments become a little more open in supporting and working together with advanced users?
