Teachers as brokers between innovation networks and school development

Beschrijving

Today’s challenges in schools, such as providing high quality education for every child are complex. Expertise beyond teaching and learning is needed to
develop inclusive learning environments in which pupils with al kinds of educational needs can flourish. Learning and innovation networks at the boundary of schools and school environment become more common. In such networks teachers, professionals in special needs and researchers collaborate on innovative solutions to support learning of all pupils in an inclusive learning environment. Leveraging knowledge from these networks for school improvement, so far, is little successful. Teachers have a unique opportunity to contribute to knowledge utilization from innovation networks in school development when day take-up a role as broker between innovation network and school. With this research we aim to contribute to a better use of the knowledge of brokers in the school for leveraging knowledge form innovation networks in teaching practice by a description of the role(s) of a broker the development of supportive tools to develop this role(s). In the session we discuss the broker role(s) using a prototype of a supportive tool and the setup of the study.
