Across the country, district-community teams are tackling pressing and complex educational challenges with Inclusive Innovation, an education research and development (R&D) model that starts with centering the needs of those most impacted by these challenges.
Since the release of our initial white paper in 2019, the Center for Inclusive Innovation has engaged with students, families, community members, practitioners, and community partners not only to research, develop, and incubate solutions, but also to build their capacity to sustain R&D as a practice 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.
Indeed, a new narrative is emerging that points to the ingenuity of schools and communities as central both to education R&D and to truly transforming education opportunities and learning for historically and systematically excluded learners.
