S5 Episode 15: Identifying the Greatness and Potential of Every School with Ted Dintersmith

On this week’s podcast, we have the privilege to speak to Ted Dintersmith and learn how our schools and educators can change the narrative around education in the United States. Ted urges us all to look for opportunities to unleash the greatness that is in our educators, to look for innovation occurring in our schools, to expose students to creative opportunities to solve problems, and to think about how the innovation change model can help us share and take successful ideas to scale. Ted also shares with us that he is working on a new compilation, The Innovation Playlist,  that showcases the awesomeness happening in our schools. This week’s podcast also features a supplementary guide to help continue conversations about innovation and successes impacting students in your context.

Being an educator in the 21st century is indescribably complex. There’s a constant pressure to meet standards and help students achieve, but there’s also a need to allow learners to color outside the lines in an effort to prompt creativity. To support educators along the continuum, the Center developed “3Ps in a Pod” to further dissect practice, policy, and passion in the field of education.
