RESEARCH THOUGHT LEADERS

Our Research Thought Leaders are nationally known educators and researchers who integrate creative and innovative thinking with learning in the sciences, arts, and cognition. They represent both K-12 (formal) and Out-of-School Time (informal) learning. The Innovation Collaborative’s ongoing conversations with these Thought Leaders provide the deep underpinning of our work. This partnership not only stimulates Collaborative research about learning at the intersections of these disciplines but also informs the Thought Leaders’ work.​
