{"data":{"ID":457,"Class":"Conversation","Created":1414866474,"CreatorID":79,"RevisionID":null,"Status":"Accepted","Title":"When Innovation Fails","Handle":"when_innovation_fails","ShortDescription":"In this conversation we will discuss what happens when the innovations don\u2019t succeed in the way you thought they would. Join Erin Klein and Brett Clark as we discuss the ups and downs of innovation. During the down times how do you retain buy-in, rebuild trust, and move forward?","Description":"In our conversation we will discuss innovations we have experienced in our classrooms and districts. We will focus on how you must first define success and how you\u2019ll measure it before you ever implement something new. Then assess progress throughout the implementation and make adjustments. Throughout the process you must continue to engage all stakeholders and have open and honest conversations to retain buy-in, trust, and continue to grow. \r\n\r\nWe will share personal experiences ranging from rolling out 8,000 chromebooks, flipping classrooms, designing and redesigning learning spaces, and more. Participants will also have opportunities to share their current\/past struggles. \r\n\r\nThe purpose of the conversation is to help all of us have the right mindset heading into something new. In order to do so we must plan to assess progress, document progress, and reflect. Throughout the reflection we can\u2019t lose sight of the reason why we tried the innovation in the first place. The goal is always more important than the innovation itself.","Link":["http:\/\/www.educationdreamer.com","http:\/\/www.kleinspiration.com\/"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"During the conversation we will use ClassFlow to engage the audience in the conversation. We will push out information to their devices. The audience will be able to respond to questions and share resources through ClassFlow.

Resources and information will be shared on a public google doc.","Presenter":["Brett Clark","Erin Klein"],"PresenterAffiliation":[],"PresenterEmail":["mrbrettclark@gmail.com","rinklein12@gmail.com"],"ScheduleSlotID":54,"ScheduleLocationID":13,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":"Erin and I are excited about the possibility of leading a conversation at EduCon. Between our experience leading innovations in our districts and working with teachers around the country we've seen our ups and downs. We both think it would be fun and helpful to have this conversation about how we react when our greatest ideas hit the roadblocks they so often do.","LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":4}}
