Synopsis
There is no shortage of innovations on offer for schools. Hardly a week passes without someone marching out the latest device, app, service, curricular add-on, or instructional technique that, we are told, is sure to cure the perennial woes of systemic education. This book is an investigation of this enchantment with “innovation” and its implications for not only everyday teaching and learning, but also the future of public education. Based on a study of The Innovation School―a public high school organized around makerspaces, design thinking, and personalized technology―the author challenges conventional wisdom about how educational transformation unfolds and argues that the popular understanding of innovation exacerbates inequality and undermines teacher and student autonomy. Building the Innovation School demonstrates how attending to the infrastructures of innovation leads to educational change that is driven by the interests and values of educators. Repair rather than disruption is the focus―a commitment to schools that allow all students to flourish.
Book Features:
- Shows how specific innovations actually work over time in the everyday life of the classroom.
- Provides resources for breaking through the hype of current (and future) innovations-of-the-day.
- Offers a framework for “innovating from below,” tailoring local innovations to the needs, values, and priorities of students, educators, and the community.
- Includes an appendix of resources for teachers and administrators interested in applying the frameworks from the book in their schools and classrooms.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'There is no shortage of 'innovations' on offer for schools. Hardly a week passes without a tech mogul, edu-preneur, TED Talk thought-leader, or PAC-backed politicians trotting out the latest app, service, curricular add-on, or instructional technique that, we are told, is sure to cure the perennial woes of systemic education. This book is an investigation of this enchantment with 'innovation' and its implications for everyday teaching and learning and the future of public education. Through a three-year study of The Innovation School, a new public high school organized around makerspaces, design thinking, and personalized technology, the book challenges conventional wisdom about how educational transformation unfolds. It argues that the popular understanding of innovation as a 'disruptive' force applied into classrooms and schools exacerbates inequality and undermines teacher and student autonomy. It suggests an alternate orientation is needed - one that locates innovation not as something dropped into classroom practice, but that emerges out of it - an innovation from below. The book demonstrates how attending to the 'infrastructures' of innovation can lead to educational change that is driven by the interests and values of educators rather than the peddlers of the latest innovation-of-the-day. This is a vision of innovation that is not rooted in 'disruption' but in 'repair' - a commitment to remaking schools to serve the common good, and to allow all students to flourish'.
