Innovation in Education

Empowering education together means we’re stronger when we work together to create collective impact. When we share ideas and help each other out, we can make big changes in how we teach and learn. Whether you have a question, want to team up, or just need to step away from your daily educational practice, we’re here for you!

If you are an educator who would like to make a difference and create impact, the following courses can help you germinate, synthesize, develop, and disseminate your ideas:
