A1: innovation is allowing change to produce better outcomes!
I was in that rut for a couple years and it made me want out. Reevaluated and job is enjoyable again

A2: Tech is a tool, not the reason for innovation! Anyone who claims they need tech for the sake of tech isn't being innovative.
A1. Only limits we have are the ones we create for ourselves! Innovation is the product of our creativity!
Completely agree but some are not able to move in that direction.
A2: The ability to remain curious, to question everything, and motivation to move forward are really all we need to innovate!
A2: Innovation happens through thinking, mindset, discussion. Tech is a part of execution of the end result

Q2: Is technology necessary for innovation to happen? Why or Why not?
Greetings ! Checking in from Denver CO-
A2: No. Innovation is problem-solving at its best. Technology helps to propagate & provide the platform.
a2: tech isn't the end all be all. ideas change the world, not products.
A2) Tech is usually innovative by design, but it's not required to make a change.
A2 Not necessary, but is the reality of our current society.Sometimes innovation needs to address it, but doesn't have to BE it.

RTQ2: Is technology necessary for innovation to happen? Why or Why not?
RTQ2: Is technology necessary for innovation to happen? Why or Why not?
RTQ2: Is technology necessary for innovation to happen? Why or Why not?
I'm David, an elementary curriculum consultant and recent PhD graduate
A2 Not necessary but technology can certainly enhance the process. Innovative thinking is a human skill.
A2) Innovation is a state of mind. Finding answers to questions or situations using what you have…watch a child with a box!
We just accept excuses when we settle. Get tired of fighting the fight. We must stay strong!
This is great, Meg! "Not Yet" is my for 2016!
and how educating Ss can empower them to change the world beyond what we can now imagine
A2: The ability for our students to wonder and desire answers to questions must be in place before we power up.
Necessary? Absolutely not. Helpful? It can be!! Technology is another tool. https://t.co/gppVzwxp8E
Q2: Is technology necessary for innovation to happen? Why or Why not?
A2:Tech can help create connections to more innovators!
A2: is not necessary to be innovative. Although, it is certainly one heck of a game changer! Fan
yes-when always go "new" sometimes lose sight of what worked w/ "old"- modifications before tossing out https://t.co/nUecSeMUId
Agree here. Not always "Brand new" but an alteration/revision of something we already do to make it better
My pleasure. I really enjoyed reading it and it changed my mindset. Enjoy!
Tech is not needed to innovate, but sometimes is an activator of possibilities.
A2: technology is not required but can increase innovation and enhance!
A2: Innovation can happen anywhere, anytime, with anything. technology is not required, but rather can enhance.
A2 Tech is a must for innovation, but not necessarily computer tech as we tend to think of it. Tech=anything that helps improve.
A2: Technology is not necessary. Innovation can begin on a Post-It Note, in a Twitter Chat, or during a class discussion.
A2: Tech makes it easier, but not always necessary. I've found that I'm starting to use paper/pencil, walls, etc. more this year.
Ditto, it is about the lens with which we view our world.
Technology can hinder innovation by giving a false sense of good communication, positive culture, and good pedagogy.
A2: Tech can enchance anything, or it can take over and defeat the purpose of anything. It's a tool, not the facilitator.
A2 Innovation is fundamentally about understanding unarticulated NEEDS & designing insightful solutions
Exactly! We've all seen some people use tech only as a really expensive paperweight!
It is important that our reading move outside of education…especially in regards to creativity and innovation.
Like squares and rectangles: Technology can bring innovation, but innovation doesn't rely on technology.
This one is on my shelf. I follow a lot of Wagners work. I think it's going to be a great read!
A2: Most ppl think Tech when they hear innovation but most innovative thing I did in my classroom was an analog twitter wall
A1: agree! innovation is and risk taking. https://t.co/BrfEwXDe8a
A1: Innovation is trying something new to accelerates or amplifies an existing process or product! It creates excitement!
A2 No. Innovation happened long before computers. Tech is tool, not end product. Innovate how it's used. Not required.
Hey Sam! Great to see you! I like this thought about assimilation vs invention.
it can be if used in the right way and not just as a replacement
A2 tech Could support and vehicle the creative ideas but still need to have these ideas to initiate any innovation

A3: It's necessary to be in an innovate mindset if not actually "inventing" things. Need to develop a curious mind!
A4) A good culture creates a collaborative environment which is safe, and where risk taking and new ideas can thrive.
“: A3: Both Ts and Ss can learn that there isn't a singular way of thinking and doing. ” YES!
A3 Paraphrased frm Harvard prof & NYT columnist- Need 2 prep Ss 2 b "innovation ready" not just "college ready"
So glad you could connect with today Bridget!
I really want to start doing Genius Hour in my classroom. I have been reading about it.
A4) If risk-taking isn't celebrated and cultivated, practices will be stagnant and school will lack innovation and failure
A4 bc culture is integral to everything.All the tools,ideas,resources,talent are worthless w/o a culture wherein they can thrive
A4: there need to be trust, support, and opportunity in all areas. Ts need to experience and model
A3 Having the instructional agility to respond in the moment to learning is a powerful place to innovate.
Drops of water created Grand Canyon baby steps can move eds to big positive changes Time :)
A4 Culture is the thinking of the collective. A culture not endorsing innovation will fail to innovate...simple
A4 Culture is where the trust and safety of risk-taking and innovation is fostered. Positive=growth Negative=bad for all!
a stretched muscle is a longer muscle and a longer muscle is a stronger muscle.
Agree with the fear! We must create a culture/climate of healthy risk-taking. Remove the fear factor.
Let students and teachers see your passion in being an autonomous learner. Once we stop learning, innovation dies.
And admin must have support of district ldrs to move away from tunnel vision testing focus.
the first step is the hardest one! Thanks for joining in today serita!
A4 Need to create culture of growth mindset w/in a safe env for Ss & Ts to innovate. Each classroom is a learning experiment.
A4 w/o culture that supports innovation only pockets of excellence will exist.
yes-We get this from Higher Ed. but need it K-12 -should be about how Ss apply learning in new ways
Agree. Admins must foster it and t's must buy in! But it's key to get there for the best of s's.
thanks Paul! I try, even with you, the Royals fan! LOL!
A4: Innovation is not easy, failure is actually more the norm - grit to push through must be cultivated https://t.co/cqO0YHKJwE
A4: Innovation means learning through failure. People need a safe place to experiment and grow.
most Tweet so far! But I would also add, engage where your students are already learning
Creativity - inventing/making something brand new
Innovation - applying something that exists in a new way to solve a problem
A4: Culture is EVERYTHING. Adults are the models for innovative thinking, transparency of always learning.
A4 Most schools were conceived and born into a world of compliance, sameness addiction, and standardization. Culture matters
And do we know what it really is ? Or do we just toss around the buzz word?
This is great. The times are changing and are we as schools keeping up? We need to 2 accelerate growth. https://t.co/ls3MYudTkK
A4 culture is everything, if you dont have a culture of learning ppl (Ss, Ts, Admin) will fight & squash new
started reading Tony Wagner book and seems innovative!
Didn't get to say "holla" yet this morning! Welcome to Mandy!
A4: Negative culture kills innovation faster than anything! You have to slowly change this and protect your innovators!!!!
A4 It's important to work as a team students need to trust to take risks

A4) classrooms built around a culture of exploration and innovation move students to higher levels.
https://t.co/2cv6IP2xeV
No, but technology expands possibilities of ways in which novel thoughts/feelings can be made real & tangible.
A4: Culture on innovation will cultivate innovation. Culture of status quo will cultivate status quo. We must encourage risks!
Hi ! Glad you are here. Your thinking belongs in this chat.
Go David! Great to see you!
Love this Matt- I'm going to share w my kiddos- so many applications :)
Nothing wrong with fun and engaging, but innovation is empowering and change making.
A4: Ss need models from their Ts and Ts need models from their admin. EVERYONE needs to be involved.
When I think of limiting Ss creativity, I'm reminded of this quote. Don't dock creativity. Let it sail. https://t.co/vGbG7FjfxJ
The Why for Innovation: “What we need is to do different things more effectively.” -Christopher Dede https://t.co/NYyJNSoTdk
A4: A culture of innovation refuses to accept the status quo and sees beyond the mandates.
Actually, negative culture usually kills innovation before it begins via shooting down every idea.
Awesome! Then, it's about the DOING that comes next right! :)
A4 Creating culture of risk taking & innovation falls on school leaders. Culture building is one of most important skills.
Leaders must encourage risk,new,chance,change and embrace results and efforts.
We hire for compliance…and expect creativity. Misalignments deter innovative action.
A4: Jim Collins talks about the flywheel in Good to Great - gotta build that momentum!
A4: Has to be safe and encouraged for Ts and Ss to try thing that might not work. Need great PLCs as innovative incubators.
Ts start bldg culture of daring on the first day. Practicing asking questions, making mistakes, putting on funny hats & dancing.
A5 It's hard to innovate in a place where innovation is not appreciated and encouraged! Culture is crucial to set up innovation!
A4 not having the culture that supports innovation leads to limits, fear to take risks, and getting "stuck" in the same old
It certainly must be supported from the top and the concept should be part of our daily lives
Agreed learning does not have to be limited to the classroom, in digital age the world is our classroom
RTQ4: Why is culture important to championing innovation in the classroom?
RTQ4: Why is culture important to championing innovation in the classroom?
RTQ4: Why is culture important to championing innovation in the classroom?
A4 Everything starts with Culture! Must develop a culture of healthy risk-taking. Remove the fear of repercussion.
A4 Culture is the soil/water/sun for growing innovation-without it you just have a pile of seeds
YES! We must practice this for self and students. Why the first iteration is the final version is beyond me.
Q4: Culture both creates & allows for a structure that provides security.Risk-taking then becomes ... the new normal
A4: How do grades fit that narrative? https://t.co/HdDRYoG4Vs
A4) If risk-taking isn't celebrated and cultivated, practices will be stagnant and school will lack innovation and failure
A "holla" back atcha, Great chat this morning!
https://t.co/Fc0l2eQy8Z
Didn't get to say "holla" yet this morning! Welcome to Mandy!
"We could.."
"No."
"How about...?"
"No."
"Have we tried..?"
"Yes and it didn't work."
A4: It is all about building strong relationships with your Ss and their families and getting to know ALL about them.
so important! Ts cannot be confined to limiting standards...they need to be jolted to explore
A4 innovation is like farming 🚜🐷🐣 it must have fertile soil, water, food, and protect it from the weeds
A4: You can have a Culture of ________ Learning, Compliance, Innovation, Trust, Test Prep, or Inquiry
so true! Exactly why we need more innovators and disruptors moving up to lead our schools!
A4: I think is accurate in that true innovation is not occurring as much as it needs to. (Growth vs. Innovative)
Hey Keri! Great to see a shining star!
A4- TRUST is so important here. If teachers feel trusted to take risks and stretch what they are doing, so will students.
Q4: A culture that fosters confidence & invites voices of risk-takers is key. Ample content needs 2 coexist 4 Ss to connect dots
A3 Ss can teach us so much about innovation if we give them the opportunities
those pockets create separation
"Yes, and...." is a conversation starter. "Yes, but...." is a conversation killer.
Bam!!!
https://t.co/CM5MnprASL
A4: Jim Collins talks about the flywheel in Good to Great - gotta build that momentum!
A2: Innov. is the road. Tech. are the yellow/white lines on the road. If the lines aren't present do we stop driving? No!
A4: If classroom screams "No, David" from every vantage point, David will never test the waters of inquiry.
A4: Innovation in the absence of failure is redundancy. Ss must understand that failing is an important step of innovation
A4: A culture with many existing boundaries is going to experience more challenges innovating.
Agree, but it's much easier to allow s's to grow individually and find best way for them w/ tech.
yep! Reading opens new doors and shape the mind to start actions ..
How are our pre service teachers encouraged to think innovatively? Q4
Totally agree with this! https://t.co/eqG74frbFG
A4: Culture is EVERYTHING. Adults are the models for innovative thinking, transparency of always learning.
A4 culture of thought/attempting/rethinking/repurposing/thought-these are key plus expectation that this needs to happen
Wonder and forward! Powerful words. Great to see you Steve at today
This could not b more true. Shut down innovative teaching & those Ts will leave. So what's left for Ss😕 https://t.co/MMCN7Iz5Cq
A4) Bad culture suffocates innovation.
even those pockets may not be able to reach potential
Exactly! Hire thinkers, doers, problem-solvers and innovators. Support, give feedback, and get out of the way.
This free ebook speaks to the culture of…

Culture eats strategy for breakfast.Innovation can't thrive w/o risks,relationships&the belief of I CAN. https://t.co/denYBtJ2Nw
Q4: Why is culture important to championing innovation in the classroom?
Same for many Ts Say love creativity but ideal Ss are compliant students- What's our real message?
morning Teresa! Always a pleasure to have you at
A4 Culture is critical! Developing a growth mindset culture allows both teachers & students to take risks. Leads to innovation.
A4: positive school culture allows stakeholders to be safe to be vulnerable - to take risks and be innovative without fear
A4 Culture relates people to each other. Acknowledging it in class would help facilitate S's receptivity to new ideas.
A4: Innovation is about ideas. Ideas, like a garden, needs healthy soil w the right environment. Culture is the classroom soil.
A4: Again, innovation involves risk and productive struggle. Classroom culture must be a safe place for this.
Culture determines the extent of innovation... IBM inventors thought there was a market for less than 50 computers in the world
A4 The actions of leadership will promote a culture. We decide if it will be Innovative or Compliant.
A4) It is the mindset of the building that pushes through tradition and welcomes change. Innovation is change on steroids.
Very true. Pockets need to join forces to create a ripple leading to movement.
A4: I think of culture as either fertile soil or a barren landscape. Innovation thrives in the former and dies in the latter
Yes ... And the biggest gift to us from the improv stage https://t.co/tvngAan6IA
"Yes, and...." is a conversation starter. "Yes, but...." is a conversation killer.
A4: A culture that encourages innovation waters the students seeds of thought, helping them grow
that last part is where so many fail-not about "you" about trusting others
The culture has to invite ideas, thinking, mistakes, risk, respect, and imagination. https://t.co/c1MLBXtUa1
RTQ4: Why is culture important to championing innovation in the classroom?
Morning! One of my fav places to be! :)
yes! Relationships w/ larger community!

This is exactly what we need to to foster a culture of innovation. https://t.co/x1N5uUo4bQ
Exactly! Hire thinkers, doers, problem-solvers and innovators. Support, give feedback, and get out of the way.
Leaders have to get excited when teachers say,"Can I try this?" When teachers or I stop asking this question we have a problem!
yes and so much in how it is presented. As always great to see you at Mark.
A4: Change Happens at the Speed of Trust Culture matters!
A4b: A creative culture creates a "new normal" mindset where risk-taking is both envisioned & encouraged
A great week!! Ready for a break & some rest!!
Culture are the non tangibles that permeate a school & impact the actions of every individual! Healthy culture = innovation!
Ahh, our desire to put people in boxes reigns. Isn't there a better way to excite, promote, & guide Ss? https://t.co/5mRDxbTHI5
A4: How do grades fit that narrative? https://t.co/HdDRYoG4Vs
A4) If risk-taking isn't celebrated and cultivated, practices will be stagnant and school will lack innovation and failure
A4 Creating a culture of innovation must b modeled at top. So Ts feel safe to try & fail, admin must take risks & own outcome.
Good morning! :)
A4 a healthy school culture encourages questioning & risk taking. This promotes creativity
Culture is important bc it essentially determines what's possible. A negative culture won't allow for much innovation/positivity
Good to see you, sir. I hope all is well.
A4) Culture is crucial ↔ long-term commitment 🌎 https://t.co/G2zhiYGGQN
Q4: Why is culture important to championing innovation in the classroom?
"Covering the standards" & innovation CAN co-exist!

"" shows up as trending topic in United States at rank 4.
A4 Trusting environments are a must for innovation: coaching when they fail then celebrate experiences.
Yes. Post based on the book!
Everything is determined in the 'lens' and how you 'frame'
In order to innovate, you need to think BEYOND your content. Blog: Until you Know What You Don't Know. https://t.co/E6ace952X1
fabulous book! Our TOSA team is doing a book study on it currently
there is always a better way. Part of our education system is to promote that kind of thinking.
In our connected world the classroom is only one part of the learning environment
understands that culture trumps strategy! Build from the roots and the fruit will follow. https://t.co/Kbud3i23C0
A4: Change Happens at the Speed of Trust Culture matters!
Good to see a friend here this AM!
I’ve got to run. Loved today on Innovation! It’s such a critical topic for us all! Thanks for hosting.
A4: Innovative culture has to be supported by admins, but t's need to be willing as well. Our school is in transition

Me too! If we can't tell people to be innovative, we need the positive culture established for it to thrive!
Q5: What are you doing to champion innovation in the classroom?
Totally agree...it's about finding the momentum over the hurdles.
Where will the seeds of innovation grow best? https://t.co/SkMtaHL7lY
A4: I think of culture as either fertile soil or a barren landscape. Innovation thrives in the former and dies in the latter
A4 The fact is we either build our lessons and our culture on what we already know - OR we build it on what we can discover.
A4: Sorry distracted by link:) Culture is important bc Ss get exposure to new ideas they never had before!
YES YES YES no fear, but the eye always on the prize - powerful learning
I'll see you & raise: MUST co-exist.
Exciting! Best wishes on the move!
Don, I know you innovate in your classroom. Have you give away from trad. grading?
Keep driving! Well said https://t.co/ZjRbVAoNH7
A2: Innov. is the road. Tech. are the yellow/white lines on the road. If the lines aren't present do we stop driving? No!
A lot of talk about learning environments, innovation demands we rethink what a learning environment is

Great way of phrasing it David. "Inviting" sounds so much better!!
Boom! Yes, innovation is an evidence of healthy culture. https://t.co/hXyS8FoJ47
Culture are the non tangibles that permeate a school & impact the actions of every individual! Healthy culture = innovation!
A4: A cultivated environment where innovation is modeled and freely expressed will lead others to do the same.
So true! Seeing compliant kids in a setting and engaged kids in a setting..you can FEEL the difference. https://t.co/MjIWmW6KHz
Too many good things start with " C "
Yes! Disappointing first thing Ts/admins mention in interview are test scores.
Ben, you have the best gifs! LOL
How do we get administration on board w innovation in the classroom? The shift needs 2 be made, but how do we get ldrs on board?
One of my favorite quotes from Drucker, "Culture eats strategy for breakfast"
I feel supported in trying new things that will be beneficial to Ss and Ts my instructional leader.
Culture creates the conditions for learning journey..it reassures me I'm on the right bus & can make the trip no matter how hard
A4.Innovation comes from the heart and not the college
For the most part. Try to use SBG and I don't grade everything. I find I am grading less and less
I appreciate this. This type of support and attitude is key to supporting t's willing to evolve. https://t.co/mQDSap1d0o
Leaders have to get excited when teachers say,"Can I try this?" When teachers or I stop asking this question we have a problem!
how about "hitting the standards" or "meeting" or "exploring"...covering has bad connontations (limited, surface)
A4 Great questions! Leadership (from all) means contributing to a culture of learning & growth for all: students, faculty,staff.
A culture that values sticktoitiveness/grit; a culture where failure is not falling, but giving up https://t.co/XxCvERrGCe

Breaking the grading tradition will be a tremendous feat, and one we should change!
A5: As admin I listen to my Ts and Ss. It is my job to guide innovation, but allow them to innovate in ways effective for them!
A5 Constantly reflecting & always listening to Ss. Making lrng relevant & powerful. Thinking about outcomes & pathS to success
A5 help Ts understand its more about learning & applying than scores-look 4 innovative ways 2 show Ss understanding-More !
Culture also creates a Maslowian comfort that is requisite for ideas to grow into tangible manifestations.Liberated minds create
I believe it's much more complicated than that, but sure that's a place to start.
Too many try to force things instead of creating conditions for them to flourish.
Could not agree more, but that's where our kids are. We must intentionally make that link.and tie it to learning.
Great seeing you! It's an awesome discussion today my fierce leader!
Absolulty! https://t.co/8fjwBG1xs6

Q5: What are you doing to champion innovation in the classroom?
When Ts are willing to take risks, schools need to provide support and encouragement. Let them feel the value of innovating.
A5 Providing lots of encouraging feedback to the risk-takers and offering opps for other Ts to visit others to observe.
I don't think innovation comes from having no fear. It's trying something even though you might have fear.
Over, under, sidestep... Whatever it takes. There are infinite moves, and I found that endlessly exciting.
A5: I take ideas and "revise" them to use in the classroom all the time.
A5:By being open to change and constantly asking Ss for feedback. Alternative assessment & allowing students to lead the way.
A5 - search hard for great examples & show them off everywhere. Change the story to change the culture.
A5 We know one size does not fit all so we are working to build experiences for every Ss. & S choice are central.

A5 Helping to empower teachers & students to take risk in the classroom & learn from them.

The host is relentless in his "Quest" about learning & skill acquisition.

A5: We have been traveling around the world through Art & cultures of those countries we visit! https://t.co/PtUeG722lU
A5 Giving kids TIME to create- hands-on, sometime w tech, learn through play despite the looming benchmark tests
A5 new projects, new answers to diff Ss, new ways to do things, new tools.....
They can if our focus is entirely on grades!
A5: Always encourage Ss to look for multiple solutions or paths, even if the 1st one seems best, a 2nd idea might be even better
Quality leadership greatly encourages innovation and risk
A5: Work on my own sense of being willing to fail.
I think that's one of the most rewarding parts of being an educator. If you're bored, there's a problem.
