Reboot Education: Innovation is the New Black

Reboot Education: Innovation is the New Black - "If you ever had a radical idea to improve your schools, now is the time to try it. The ideas are old and new, controversial and common sense. If you want to improve your district — and who doesn't? — there's no one formula to try or any set of ideas that you should ignore. Long derided for not changing their format since agriculture set its calendars, and criticized for stubbornly clinging to the sit-and-get method of learning, schools are now at the epicenter of change. Green schools no longer seem radical, but practical, for staff, students, the environment, and the bottom line. The idea that paying attention to the emotional needs of students isn't just the work of the kind-hearted is now seen as a proven way to improve the learning environment—and test scores—for all students."
