Description

A Digital Promise membership network that brings together school districts for cross-district collaboration, partnerships, professional learning, and sharing of innovative practices.

Components

  • League of Innovative Schools membership network: A Digital Promise membership network of forward-thinking school districts, described as "a coalition of 86 districts across 33 states, serving more than 3 .3 million students", including urban, suburban, and rural districts. Members engage in cross-district collaboration, cross-sector partnerships with research institutions and education-focused companies, and sharing of best practices. Related Digital Promise offerings to member districts include Verizon Innovative Learning Schools (8.6 percent of districts), educator micro-credentials (50 percent of surveyed districts), ed-tech research pilots (16 percent), and Learning Studios (26 percent). (Vina Vo (2017))
  • The League of Innovative Schools as an innovation intermediary and community of practice: The report frames the League as an innovation intermediary, defined as "organizations or groups within organizations that work to enable innovation", which initiates, facilitates, and supports cross-sector collaborations to promote innovative practices in K-12 public schools. A logic model (Appendix A) lays out a theory of change in which convenings, working groups, study tours, and communications support produce immediate impacts (professional growth, expanded networks) and intermediate impacts (innovative learning opportunities for students, empowered teachers). The network is nurtured through biannual fall and spring meetings and working groups on topics such as competency-based education (Vina Vo (2017))
