Description
. Main theme and aims of the symposiumThe hardest part of educational innovation is making it sustainable. We define sustainability as the process ofintegrating and scaling the intervention’s core aspects in organizational routines, which are adaptive to ongoing work. This means the core aspects of an
innovation are important to maintain and should become part of schools’ organizational routines, whereas at the same time local adaptability is important. The
literature shows that leadership is key in sustainable innovation. But practical and concrete guidelines to support leadership for sustainable innovation are
lacking. In this symposium we present three studies on leadership for sustainable educational innovation, in primary, secondary, and vocational education. We
also discuss the resulting practical tools with the audience to detect shared principles and mechanisms and to consider their transfer-value to other contexts.2.
Interactivity in the symposiumWe explain how the tools were based on our studies and illustrate their use in educational practices. Subsequently, we invite the
audience to discuss these tools’ functioning and expected outcomes in supporting leadership for sustainable innovation in their context. Their feedback is
collected digitally for further discussion in the final part of the symposium, led by the discussant.
