Education is a journey of constant innovation and iteration: we change because the world is changing. In order to continue creating safe, supportive, engaging environments where learners can develop the skills necessary to succeed in the world, we must change with it. That dynamic of change is exactly what makes education an adventure. In WanderlustEDU, Micah Shippee explains how we can approach a future that is exciting but uncertain with "innovativeness," or the ability to respond creatively to the unexpected. Using relevant research and practical experience, he explores principles of self-awareness and presents practical strategies to become agents of change. In this book you will learn to:
--Frame your perspective on the future of education
--Understand your role in change
--Recognize the relationship between innovation and emergent technology
--Discover what type of adopter you are
--Identify meaningful innovation
--Plan for innovation, no matter what it looks like
