Innovations of Promise (no money back guarantee) Require Planning and Work,” This session will focus on the critical processes of implementing and executing the most promising innovations for a district or campus based on specific needs identified by data analytics. Implementation of a successful strategy or innovation in another district does not guarantee success, nor does a failed effort in another district mean the strategy/innovation is flawed. Following a well-defined process for new strategies or innovative ideas is critical for school districts due to limited resources and intense scrutiny from internal and external stakeholders. This session will provide attendees a clearly defined and articulated process to increase the potential for a successful implementation that will increase effectiveness and/or efficiency, depending on the purpose of the new strategy. Information will be presented but the intent is to include audience participation through questions and sharing of innovative strategies or initiatives.
