1. Innovation is the lifeblood of continuous improvement in any organization.

2. A robust R&D system can accelerate education improvement in significant, scalable and sustainable ways.

3. The R&D system must itself be reinvented as a catalyst for innovation and continuous improvement.

1. A central mission that focuses on solving problems of practice.

2. A knowledge ecosystem that constantly captures, generates and disseminates new knowledge.

3. Dynamic networks that guide, aggregate and accelerate innovation and improvement.

4. A development process that promotes rapid responses, rigorous testing, and scaling.

Phase 1:Innovation development

Phase 2:Expanding field trials and making

innovations robust through beta testing

Phase 3: Large-scale adoption in affiliate sites and

beyond through the Knowledge Ecosystem

5. Innovation centers and their interdisciplinary design teams that manage and implement the development process.

6. Participating research sites that provide workable environments for the three phases of the development process.

7. Funding that is ongoing, sustainable and sufficient.

Is our

vision sustainable?

Poorly funded

Too far removed from teachers and learners

No formal process for capturing and sharing the professional knowledge base

“Education is like the rest of

economic theory, but without

supply and demand.”
