Creating Capacity for Innovation Across Education Systems
We convene stakeholders and catalyze educators to implement and scale the most effective approaches to education.
Tomorrow’s learners deserve innovative*, collaborative and agile schools. To ensure that all learners succeed in a rapidly changing world, the Friday Institute creates capacity for innovation and adaptation across educational systems through dynamic resources, a community of partnerships and our corpus of research.
*We define innovation as the application of novel and scalable ideas, tools and practices that advance education.
