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. Challenges the conventional wisdom about
innovation, offering 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.
