Innovative Schools toolkitWorkshop 6i-4 – InnovationProject creation and planning
Objective Suggested ApproachCreate innovation teams which have…
– A common purpose
– A built in self review mechanism
– Feedback from learners
– Four innovative ideas
Position one of the ‘Learner Outcomes’ posters in each corner of the room and invite delegates to choose the one they would most like to contribute towards.
Ask individuals to address groups by each poster and describe what they would like to be involved in so that groups can form.
Groups return to tables and with large poster paper work through the steps of forming an innovation team.
To set the first team task and establish working practices
Teams prepare a short presentation regarding how they will operate..
To share practice ideas Teams will give their brief presentations to the whole group so there is shared awareness and produce their key messages for wider stakeholder distribution.
Workshop 4 overview
Choose one of the three ‘Student Outcomes’ posters
and debate the ideas for projects
Look at the BECTA self review framework to
consider what strands of work need to be considered
Look at all the ‘BEST’ outcomes and see how your
projects can maximise coverage
How will you review each others progress? How will you know who has been
successful and who needs support?
Your team of four – Decide
on four related project ideas
you will pursue
Your innovation teams
Decide on a common purpose, based on student outcomes
• How?
– look at the three posters for ‘student outcomes’ and decide which you personally would like to work on best.
– Share ideas with others to find some common ground

Agree your review methodEffective teams have to stay focussed on learning and on the longer term objectives. Here are three suggestions for how to ensure this happens. These models can be combined or others used.
Model 1: Co-developed Model 2: Book club Model 2: Hot seat
Next Week’s
outcome agreed
Learners in the team who
experience the activities
conduct evaluations
and feed these back to
the group
Team agrees this week’s focus
Whole team will try the same
development with their groups
Group evaluation and next focus
One team member is focussed on once each four weeks
Whole team fire questions to offer
challenge and ideas
Creating your innovation team – step 3
Making sure you are SMARTYour whole team has a common purpose but you need to each be
Specific about what you will
Measure to prove you have
Achieved improvements. So what is a
Realistic expectation for one year’s
Time from now?
Creating your innovation team – step 4
Sustainability: Making sure it scales
• Hundreds of interesting projects happen across the world every year but few survive and grow. From day one you must think how you will scale this idea if you are successful.
• Could another team use your ideas next year?
• Could another school use them to progress as you have?
Stage 1: Co-development project (Pilot1)
Stage 2: Consultative project (Pilot2)
Stage 3: Small scale implementation
Stage 4: Large scale implementation - policy
Creating your innovation team – step 5
Managing Risk
When you took over the leadership
You crack eggs! Your initiatives have yet to bear fruit. People complain it was better before – and it was!
Time
People have understood the vision and it is widely shared – initiatives have kicked in and are achieving change

You are reaching the Good phase. Most things are in place. Results begin to plateau. Wide Support and good will
Identify new project while energy is high. Innovation and Risk Taking referring to the new vision for direction.Stop doing some things to make space for the new – don’t be afraid to let go.
Creating your innovation team – step 6
Bringing it all together
• Who is in your team?
• What is your common purpose?
• How often will you meet?
• How will you review progress and stay focussed?
• How will you obtain student feedback?
• How is your project SMART?
• Would your project scale to whole school?
• What will get worse and what must be abandoned?
Creating your innovation team – step 7
• Prepare a presentation that will provide other groups with an overview of what your team are planning
• Add your ideas to the correct Learner Outcomes Poster
