  • Our vision is to create a vehicle that will put high-quality, innovative, standards — and research-based materials and resources at the finger tips of our state's educators. This tool will allow teachers, principals, and eventually all education stakeholders to communicate, share, and network with their peers in other buildings and districts across the state, and eventually across the country. To compliment this technology-based tool, BOE also will include a hands-on, off-line component. Some options for this component include facilitated work shops, on-site coaches, or summer institutes. The online and off-line component will be designed with the most innovative and cutting-edge thinkers and engineers.

  • we start at the beginning with deeply observing and understanding, finding insights and deeper meaning in that question, stating that question and then heading into a phase of ideation where we have as many potential solutions as possible. By analytic process we choose one or two that we think are the best and then through the processes of prototyping, storytelling and testing, improve those and get them to a spot where they are ready for a higher level testing and implementation study.

  • our work within this realm is less about preference and more about unmet need or unmet opportunity.
  • One is hard pressed to simply issue a dictum from the corner office that says, ‘We are now an innovation company’, because the keys to success to making this work are not policy–they are culture change. And in order to enable that culture change there needs to be leadership from the to
