Fostering Innovation at St. James


After consultation, feedback, and observations from our continuing work, we developed our own Innovation Framework. Doing this has made lesson planning more fluid and more personalized to the St. James community.
Our students and teachers are moving from consumers of technology to creators and innovators.

Our framework takes into account the six areas we believe important to facilitate innovative learning opportunities: creativity, engagement, assessment/feedback, collaboration, differentiation, and critical thinking. All the while, our philosophy of integrating technology helps supports these six areas throughout the learning experience.
