Hathaway Brown's Innovation Team

Every school hears the call to innovate for the 21^st Century.

Why not get there before the 22^nd Century comes calling?

Hathaway Brown’s Innovation Team can help. HB is an all-girls’ school outside of Cleveland, and we’ve spent the last decade designing and refining innovative approaches that bring the world to our students and our students to the world. We call our model the Institute for 21^st Century Education, and it’s changed our school dramatically and for the better.

Over the years, scores of schools have visited HB to learn more about our distinctive Science Research and Engineering program, Center for Global Citizenship, Osborne Writing Center and other innovative programs.  Hundreds of schools have also attended our Innovation Summits.

Now we’re launching a service to help schools fast track their innovation efforts. Our Innovation Team can help at any stage of the design process.

Interested schools can choose from two new options:

1. Jumpstarting Innovation: The Managing Director of the Institute for 21^st Century Education will study your school and spend one to three days visiting your campus, helping decision-makers develop visions for innovation, design academic structures and compose action plans for next steps. Schools can also choose to visit Hathaway Brown for an in-depth investigation of our distinctive programs.
    
2. Innovation Clinics: Starting in the summer of 2013, we will offer a two-day Innovation workshop where our Center Directors will coach schools on developing similar programs at their home schools.

The goal of our Innovation Team is to help schools develop programs that best suit their cultures and communities. We’ll share our insights, guide the design process and help schools avoid pitfalls as they move from idea to action.
