Creating a Culture of Innovation
by Apple Distinguished Educators
In an era of ubiquitous information technology and open access content, we believe that the primary purpose of education is changing. It’s now more about the environment we provide than the content we deliver. Similarly, we believe that the primary purpose of professional development is changing. Just as a classroom requires engaged, self-directed and passionate learners, so does professional development. The course will motivate and equip individuals to develop a culture of innovation and excellence in education through self-directed professional growth.
