Innovation in Education
Edstemic’s mission is to work with education professionals to develop their innovation mindsets, skillsets and toolsets to confidently recognise and seize opportunities that add value to the learning experiences of their students.
Edstemic has a focus on understanding the value networks that education institutions are positioned within to co-design a cohesive innovation strategy that develops the professional capability of educators, enhances community and industry partnerships and supports learner-centred education.
The School Innovation Index benchmarking tool is one way for School's to benchmark their own innovation journey against a taxonomy of innovative practices within the Index. This can provide an evidence-base to inform future school innovation strategy.
School Innovation Index Clusters
Edstemic has identified six clusters of innovative practices in schools including: equity and access; wellbeing and pastoral; personalised learning, future focused pedagogies; organisational; and, technology integration.
An innovation is a new or improved product or process that differs significantly from the school’s previous products or processes (OECD 2019).
Edstemic defines an innovation as different from an improvement:
Improvement – a change in product or process that provides efficiency, productivity and outcome gains to the school’s core deliverables. Improvements are driven by external standards, regulation and requirements.
Innovation – a change in a product or process that provides value beyond the school’s core deliverables. Innovation is discretionary and emerges from the local context, culture and values of the school.
