2020: Digital Promise launched the Center for Inclusive Innovation to partner with school districts and communities to co-create powerful learning experiences and solutions that embrace the unique needs and strengths of the whole child.
2022: The Center for Inclusive Innovation completed work on several projects supporting 30+ school districts working in partnership with their communities. Projects included engaging high school students in writing, supporting student mental health, and increasing district capacity to recruit and retain a diverse workforce.
We published stories, outcomes, and journey maps documenting how the collaborative research process guided the development of solutions and eventual outcomes. Read the emerging findings from these projects.
Our work continues to expand to include national convenings, partnerships, and collaborations, as well as developing the capacity for school districts to engage in research and solutioning with communities.
We continue to share our learnings and practices from the work—read the latest report.
We work with schools and districts across the country that face unique challenges and opportunities. At the same time, they share a belief that collective wisdom leads to better solutions.
We work with researchers and solution developers to ensure programs and edtech products are wholly reflective of student voice and leadership, and serve every learner.
We invite you to join our thriving community.
Inclusive Innovation starts by intentionally creating opportunities for communities—including students, parents, and families—to be at the table with district leaders, educators, researchers, and solution developers to work together to address education challenges.
Since 2019, the Center for Inclusive Innovation has engaged with students, families, community members, and practitioners to not only research, develop, and incubate solutions to education challenges, but also to build their capacity to sustain co-research and co-design into the future.
A New Narrative: How Unlocking the Power of R&D Through Inclusive Innovation Can Transform Education shares the stories, solutions, outcomes, and learnings from these years of deep collaboration.
