Why will we meet? • What would it take to create the innovators that we need for the 21st Century? • What are the implications for today’s writing instruction?

Our Agenda • Overview of the year • Trios • Discussion of chapter 1, Creating Innovators by Tony Wagner, and video clip that accompanies the chapter • Speakers: Joe Dillon and Molly Robbins • Generation of inquiry topics • Inquiry groups determine membership, focus question for the year, and plan for the year
Introductions (Trios) • In the years that you’ve been teaching, what’s the most positive innovation that you’ve seen? • When you think about 21st Century skills, what are you most curious about? • What’s one new thing you’ve tried this year so far?

Inquiry’s our stance • May presentations from each group: • Answers to the inquiry questions. • Classroom implications of the study. • Each team member will apply insights to the classroom. • If a coach, work with a classroom teacher to apply the findings.
Tony Wagner’s Creating Innovators • Keep our EQs in mind as you watch the video: • What would it take to create the innovators that we need for the 21st Century? • What are the implications for today’s writing instruction?
