Times are volatile, uncertain and complex. Schools have to be transparent, flexible and solution orientated. An innovative school culture is needed.
To mobilise support for innovation, education systems need to become better at communicating the need and building support for change. Investing in change-management skills will be critical; and it is vital that teachers become active agents for change contributing to better all and improving every student’s development and achievement.
The course wants to contribute to the empowerment of schools as learning organisations. During the course sessions we have a look at different tools to help you when you are in an innovation process.
At the end of the course, the participants should be able to define the challenges their school faces and have an idea on how to start a process that will lead to an innovative school culture.
