Innovation fellows

In phase 1 of the K-12 effective practices research project, the Innovation ​Collaborative identified the top 9 teachers nationally who most closely met the effective practices criteria.
​
  • Teachers across the US submitted a lesson, unit, or project.
  • These lessons underwent extensive analysis by education experts from all disciplines at the university and school administrative levels and by classroom teachers, themselves.
  • These teachers, designated Innovation Fellows, are helping further develop the K-12 Effective Practices project.
  • This multi-year research project is studying the most effective practices that promote creative and innovative thinking at the intersections of the arts, sciences, and humanities. Results will be broadly available.
  • Additional Fellows will be identified throughout the project’s research.
