Teaching is inherently iterative. If you are an educator, you are likely familiar with the cycle of trying something, reflecting with colleagues, then making shifts or planning new experiments. Small shifts can make a big difference! Former K-12 teacher turned MIT professor Justin Reich calls iteration “the secret to innovation in schools,” however maintaining the drive to continue to iterate, experiment and improve as an educator is a community endeavor!*
TEC is inviting educators across districts to join a community of iterative educators. Together, we will:
- Share our iterative experience and ideas
- Understand and experiment with iterative cycles and practices
- Support and challenge each other and ourselve
- Ask, “what small thing can I try on Monday?”
Participants will receive professional development points (PDPs) and a copy of Justin Reich’s book, Iterate: The Secret to Innovation in Schools. We will meet 4-6 times (ideally in person) over the 2024-2025 school year for about 90 mins each.
