In September 2015, 193 world leaders committed to 17 Global Goals
for sustainable development to end extreme poverty, fight inequality
and injustice, and protect our planet by 2030. Education is essential to
the success of every one of the 17 new goals.

young people for the world of work.
It needs to equip students with the skills they need to
become active, responsible and engaged citizens.”

Three misleading paths

9. https://unsplash.com/photos/3xNn1zGvBwY
1. Innovation cannot grow from
teacher’s (self-)deprecation.

10. https://unsplash.com/photos/3xNn1zGvBwY
Contradictory discourses want to cheer teachers
up telling them they are unprepared or unwilling
to face the challenge of (technological) innovation.

Teachers are the
key for school
improvement but
they work in
contexts which
promote or
prevent change.

12. 2. The fashion of
supermarket
innovation

13. “Innovation is a way of doing
things that can be observed
and institutionalized,
like teaching methods
as opposed to ideas
(empowerment) or products
(interactive whiteboard, Smart Class),
that can become innovative
only if manifested through
the processes of schooling.”

expected from educational innovation?”.

14. Innovation is not just choosing
between Teacher- or Student-
Centred Approaches,
Textbooks or Flipped Learning,
Chalk or Interactive Boards.

15. Each of these “options”
can be reproductive or
transformative
depending on the outcomes.

16. 3. Heroic loneliness prevents
sustainable innovation.

17. Concerning technology,
individual enterprises
can lead the way but
they can also widen the
competence gap.

educational technology innovation for teaching, learning,
and school management into comprehensive innovation”

leads to frustration and
burnout.

“Teaching and learning
to teach are
contextually situated.
professional
development activities
must therefore build on

knowledge and beliefs,
perceived problems, and
classroom practices.”

teacher learning through creating
opportunities and providing a stimulating
context for teacher change has been found to
be essential in generating educational reform.”

24. Teachers are the key agents for

Innovation relies on their social and
professional capital.

26. “Three identity-related concepts seem to play an important
role in this process of positioning oneself in relation to an
innovation, namely ownership, sense-making and agency.”
Ketelaar, E., Beijaard, D.,
Boshiizen, H. P. A., Den Brok,

positioning towards an
educational innovation in the
light of ownership, sense-
making and agency”.

teaching and learning are more highly rated
and are more effective with students,
especially at tasks requiring higher order
thinking and problem solving.”

flow of common knowledge.

31. “The power of teacher co-learning emerges very strongly from the
studies reviewed. The road starts with informal exchanges in school
cultures that facilitate the process, continues in networking and
interchanges among schools and situations and is strengthened in
formalised experiences such as courses and workshops that introduce
peer coaching or support collaboration and joint projects. In whatever
way, the lesson learned is that teachers naturally talk to each other,
and that such a talk can take on an educational purpose.”

32. “In many places
classroom teaching
continues to be
a solitary activity.
Therefore to move
from co-learning through talk
to co-learning through
observation and feedback is
necessary as well as effective.”

our common knowledge and

35. The School as a Community of Practice
(of reflective practitioners)
is the best ecosystem for innovation.

for reflection

relation to
digital
competence.

Change cannot be imposed.
Change is a consequence of self-knowledge,
decision making and professional development.
