What We Do
We incubate innovative projects that can be implemented at scale across North Carolina and across the nation. We do this by rethinking, reimagining and redesigning.
The Innovation Project at Work
The Innovation Project is committed to re-shaping workforce systems to foster a sustainable and rewarding working environment, the development of personalized learning structures that leverage technology, and driving a transformative shift in learning environments. Through partnerships that harness the power of technology, we aim to create a comprehensive ecosystem that provides greater access and opportunity for students to achieve their academic and career goals through a more engaging and effective educational experience.
RETHINKING
TIP provides space for district leaders to “unlearn” and rethink foundational assumptions about K-12 education that have shaped existing systems, programs, and policies.
REIMAGINING
Our members work together to “see around corners,” envisioning the future of public education and bringing bold, visionary approaches to solving education’s most vexing challenges.
REDESIGNING
More than just visionary thinkers, TIP members work together as a community of doers, designing programs and partnerships to build a more equitable and learner-centered future.
Our Priorities
Reimagining the Educator Workforce
TIP is committed to re-shaping workforce systems to foster a sustainable and rewarding working environment. Harnessing the power of technology to help align compensation, collaboration, professional growth, and scheduling strategies with contemporary workforce trends, we aim to mitigate burnout, improve retention, and elevate the teaching profession’s appeal.
Accelerating Learning & Pathways to Post-Secondary Success
TIP is focused on the development of personalized learning structures that leverage technology to identify and address individual student needs. We aim to create a comprehensive ecosystem that provides greater access and opportunity for students to achieve their academic and career goals through targeted interventions, mentorship, and early exposure to higher education and industry opportunities.
Pioneering New Learning Environments
TIP is driving a transformative shift in learning environments, partnering with design engineers and member districts to develop innovative spaces that seamlessly integrate technology, pedagogy, and collaboration. These intelligent designs will redefine modern teaching and learning, fostering a more engaging and effective educational experience.
