Innovation Academy 2024-2025
This training is four sessions, each spanning two days and revolves around four key shifts seen in deeper learning schools: Higher Level Thinking, Student Agency, Authentic Work, and Technology Infusion.
Tailored specifically for North Dakota educators, the curriculum of the North Dakota Innovation Academy enables participants to immediately implement small changes that can lead to significant transformations, while also strategizing for long-term systemic shifts. Immediate resources such as the Innovation Playlist, The Cutting Ed blogs, and insights from Ted Dintersmith’s book, "What Schools Could Be", offer practical tools. In depth study of ten building blocks essential for these shifts involves exploring project-based learning, competency-based grading, and initiatives like 1:1 computing.
