      The use of clusters of schools to encourage innovation is an interesting idea.
  • Alan McCluskey on 18 Dec 07
     
    The Schools for Innovation and Excellence initiative commenced in 2003 and supports primary and secondary schools to work closely together in clusters over three years to deliver innovation and excellence in Victorian education. Clusters receive funding to develop strategically effective education programs to advance student learning. From 2005, every Victorian government school will be in a cluster, with a total of 247 clusters in operation.

shared by Alan McCluskey on 04 Jan 08 - Cached
  • Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining (and profoundly moving) case for creating an education system that nurtures creativity, rather than undermining it.
  • Robinson points out the many ways our schools fail to recognize -- much less cultivate -- the talents of many brilliant people. "We are educating people out of their creativity," Robinson says.

      Ken Robinson's book entitled "Out of our minds - learning to be creative" is well worth the read and may provide some answers to the Catalonian question of making school more creative and innovative.

    An amusing talk by Sir Ken Robinson about creativity in education and how education pushes creativity out of children.

  • 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.

    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.
  • bertjaap on 22 Oct 08
     
    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?
