New approaches to old problems - using innovation tools to think creatively about school improvement
Some problems in education never seem to go away. No matter what interventions we put in place, it can feel as though sometimes we are fighting a losing battle. However, what if we thought differently?
Using techniques from the design and innovation professions we might be able to get to the root cause of problems and solve them with insights from those who sit closest to these challenges.
This course aims to help us think more innovatively and ask better questions to help us find better solutions through a range of learnable tools and techniques.

How does it contribute to a Big Education?
A Big Education is one that goes to the root of the problems we face – aiming to cure the causes rather than the symptoms. A Big Education is also one which horizon scans – for instance, looking to successful design and engineering techniques and exploring how to implement them in education settings.
