Innovation: Educational Innovation and Technology
1. NNOVATION:
from proposition to school practice
Educational Innovation and Technology
Prepared by:
RUBY JEAN CAMISA
MAEd - English
2. The bottom-up orientation
• Innovation that starts from the field and
spreads to different schools.
• Brought about by the unique characteristics of
educational issues that called for a linkage
strategy in planning and a central role of
improvisation in the educational setting.
• Encourage numerous small school-level
innovations
educational issues
-social protection
-structural
looseness/loosely coupled
character
-other educational
problems
3. • Social protection is concerned with protecting and helping those who are poor
and vulnerable, such as children, women, older people, people living with
disabilities, the displaced, the unemployed, and the sick. There are ongoing
debates about which interventions constitute social protection, and which category
they fit under, as social protection overlaps with a number of livelihoods, human
capital and food security interventions (Harvey et al., 2007).
• Loosely Coupled Systems interconnected entities or events that are
responsive, but still preserve their own identity and some evidences of
physical/logical separateness. (ex: teacher and principal in a school)
4. The top-down orientation
• Innovation that starts from a central unit or body
(e.g. DepEd) which is disseminated to teachers.
• Comprehensive reform
• Nationwide innovations
7. Culture
• Defines expectations
• Gives meaning to instructional
activities
• Bridges action and results
• School culture holds loosely coupled
systems
8. iNNOVATIVE CULTURE
Innovative

Visionary
Aspect
9. • Chief agents of educational change,
teachers in the forefront
SUPPORT MECHANISMS:
The educational staff

gatekeepers
• Needs a whole set of
organizational procedures to
reshape the school culture
• A school culture that encourages teacher initiative,
responsibility, cooperation, and openness helps educators
to catalyze changes.
10. • Skills and techniques which supports
innovation should be built into the
curricula of training
Teacher Training
• Innovation should be taught as an approach to be developed
and adjusted to educational settings
• Help teachers experience the satisfaction
of creating a new response to difficult
problems
• Goal is to develop innovative attitude (receptive) through
experience and exposure to innovation (e.g. team
teaching, integration)
11. • For Cognitive development of teachers and administrators
In-service staff development
• Enhancement of innovation, development and maintenance of an
attitude conducive to innovation, and strategies to sustain
implementation.
• Forms of programs:
• 1. regular staff meetings and workshops
• 2. Innovative Development Team with members from stakeholders
(based on relevance , expertise, jurisdiction )
• 3. Study Curriculum Team that includes professionals in curriculum
planning
12. • The focus on people, individual and group initiatives for
innovation are the most important to organizational
success.
In-service staff development
• Be seen as a Supplemental parallel learning structure of
organizations which create outputs that improve existing practices.

Not only the biggest bizzare, state of the art facilities, out of the world inventions
Endless small solutions and ideas that admins, teachers,and students use daily
Teacher and principal are interconnected within the school as a system but still retain individuality as a teacher and principal, connected but separated, loosely coupled.

Sustained innovative culture
Notes to presenter:
What steps will you be taking as a result of this learning experience?
Did you learn from any failed experiences? How will you do things differently?
What advice will you give to others so they can learn from your experiences?
How can you share what you learned with a real-world audience?
Some examples of next steps might be:
After delivering my first persuasive presentation, I am thinking about joining the debate team.
After making my first film, I’m considering entering it in our school film festival or local film festival.
After connecting with this career expert, I’d like to do some research on that career field because it sounds interesting to me.
