Innovation Network. SSTA Research in Brief.
Saskatchewan School Trustees Association, Regina.
School systems face the challenge of meeting high expectations with limited resources. Reductions in operating grants and increasing expenditures have exaggerated the problem. The Innovation Network was established by the Saskatchewan School Trustees Association in 1995 to help boards of education make the best use of available resources. This document contains examples of innovative efforts initiated in several Saskatchewan school systems. Areas of innovation include teaching and learning, governance, administration, resource allocation, and partnerships. Project descriptions and the names of contact persons are included. Teaching-and-learning innovations include school schedules, instructional grouping, school-to-work transitions, standards and student assessment, differentiated staffing, professional development, and educational technology. Governance-related innovations involve parent and community participation, shared decision making, board reorganization, and school division consolidation. Administrative strategies address new roles and responsibilities, employer-management relationships, electronic tools, school policies, and strategic planning. Resource-allocation practices center on staffing, program budgeting, transportation, entrepreneurship, energy conservation, and facility use. Partnerships involve parents, communities, provinces, businesses, shared services, and private contractors. (LMI)
