You remember when I said I read about creativity for fun?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just in the last month, I enrolled in an MIT massive open online course (MOOC): “Launching Innovation in Schools.”<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This course — which is free and open to all — is co-taught by Peter Senge, author of “The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization.” I blogged about that book back in November<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s a quick summary of the course:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every great teacher and every great school constantly works towards creating better learning conditions for students. Just as we hope our students become lifelong learners, we as educators should be constantly learning and improving. This education course is for school leaders of all kinds (from teacher-leaders to principals to superintendents) who are launching innovation in schools–starting new efforts to work together to improve teaching and learning.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Launching Innovation in Schools” started in early February and continues through April. Its target audience is K-12 educators, but most of its themes and strategies apply to higher education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
