58 61 Mobilise innovation Innovation inspired by science (15/1) Innovation inspired by practitioners Innovation inspired by users Entrepreneurial development of new products and services

59 62 Making change happen To gain the benefits of collaborative planning, work, and Regrouping shared professional development educators strategies To open up pedagogical options To give extra attention to groups of learners To give learners a sense of belonging & engagement Inquiry, authentic learning, collaboration, Widening To mix students of different Four ages Regrouping pedagogic and formative assessment To mix different abilities learners repertoires A prominent dimensions and place strengths for student voice & agency To widen pedagogical options, including peer teaching To allow for deeper learning To create flexibility for more individual choices To accelerate learning To use out-of-school learning in effective & innovative ways Rescheduling learning

60 Making change happen Make costs and benefits of educational innovation as symmetric as possible Everyone supports innovation (except for their own children) The benefits for winners are often insufficient to mobilise support, the costs for losers are concentrated That s the power of interest groups Need for consistent, co-ordinated efforts to persuade those affected of the need for change and, in particular, to communicate the costs of inaction

61 Making change happen Given the uncertainties that accompany change, education stakeholders will always value the status quo. Successful innovations are good at communicating the need for change and building support for change tend to invest in capacity development and changemanagement skills develop evidence and feed this back to institutions along with tools with which they can use the information Are backed by sustainable financing Teachers need to be active agents, not just in the implementation of innovations, but also in their design
