Summit participants will identify and articulate strategies for creating and sustaining learning environments that promise the development of innovative thinking skills, behaviors and dispositions that reward students, teachers, faculty and administrators for practicing and tuning these skills. Summit organizers will create a private online space where participants will be encouraged to continue discussions or comment further on the ideas generated over the course of the Summit. Mapping social networks of and among participants will provide insights into how innovation practices are shared and spread across relationships and networks. Ideas that emerge from the Summit will be made publicly available via the Radical Innovation Summit's website.The Summit, and research that is developed from the meeting, is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation's DRK12 program.More information: education.illinois.edu/radicalinnovation http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/2771/28707516 College of Education http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/2771/28707516 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 08:30:00 CDT The Center for Education in Small Urban Communities presents the 2013 Chancellor's Academy, themed, "Culturally Relevant Pedagogy: Understanding our students and transforming our teaching."
