About the Collaborative Innovation Studio

Centering in Schools and Communities: A Revolutionary Approach to Innovation

Our program is designed around collaborative, community-centered processes for co-design and co-leadership. It’s a different, unique way to approach the challenges that too often stand in the way of progress in schools everywhere. The goal? To develop and implement bold education solutions that serve EVERY learner.

Real World Challenges. Real World Solutions.

What does our approach to innovation look like in action? Here are examples:

In Bristol Township, Pennsylvania – students collaborated with mental health professionals to co-create training for teachers to support students facing mental health challenges

In Talladega County, Alabama – students, families and community organizations successfully co-designed career pathways that is transforming opportunities for students in rural districts

In Seattle, Washington – Principals and students co-analyzed discipline data and created strategies for reducing chronic absenteeism and suspensions.

70 Districts Served

More than 70 school districts have used our Studio approach to collaborate with students and other stakeholders to define and understand challenges and then collaborate in a well-defined set of processes to co-create solutions.

To bring these solutions to life, we supported district and community teams with our co-research and design model—adapting our methods to meet their needs. We mix and match our co-research and design curriculum to meet your needs.

No two engagements are alike. Each customized experience is intentionally designed to guide teams of district leaders, teachers, parents, students, researchers, and developers through a process to co-create solutions rooted in context.
