Networking
“The hardest aspect of innovating is not the starting—it's sustaining. It's getting better at getting better. We have a tendency to want overnight success. We want to transform teaching and learning and we want it overnight and we want instant results and know that we're getting it done. The act of innovating is really hard work and I would say it's almost impossible to succeed in a silo or even within a school or a single district. And so we really see networks and school networks as a path to help start and sustain innovation by helping both individuals in schools, schools themselves and districts apply good network design to help the innovation start and sustain.”
