Description
Have an idea to change your classroom? Your school? The school system?
This workbook is a practical guide to innovation aimed at supporting practicing educators and school administrators. It walks educators from idea generation through planning, problem-solving, implementation, evaluation, and growth and development.
The benefit of this workbook is that it can be seen as an antidote to the pressures felt by teachers almost universally in today's schools. It provides educators with a means to push back, to create and innovate despite the many challenges in their workplaces.
This research-based tool supports teacher professionalism and complements professional development plans. It provides seven concrete steps with accompanying blank worksheets as well as four complete diverse examples to guide readers' work. Practical organization, careful planning, and thorough evaluation are emphasized throughout. In sum, the workbook allows teachers to rediscover why they entered the profession in the first place - to make a difference.

Reviews / Votes
Great ideas need to be scaled up for others to use. This book gives the plan, the ideas, and the blueprint for scaling up your innovation. A rare treat indeed. -- John Hattie, PhD, emeritus laureate professor, Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne, Australia; chair of the board of the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership The Teacher's Innovation Workbook by Leah Wasburn-Moses should be a must read for all teachers. She describes a highly efficient, pragmatic seven step model any educators can use to define, develop, evaluate, and replicate any new program they may hope to initiate in their classrooms. Dr. Wasburn-Moses clearly defines each step in the process and provides practical advice, concrete strategies, as well as sample worksheets and proposals that make the process both easy to understand and implement for even teachers who have little or no experience in program development. -- Thomas A. Kersten, Associate Professor Emeritus, Roosevelt University, Chicago, IllinoisMore details
