My first book, “The Innovator’s Mindset; Empower Learning, Unleash Talent and Lead a Culture of Creativity” is now available at Amazon. This is a prelude to my latest book, “Innovate Inside the Box; Empowering Learners Through UDL and the Innovator’s Mindset” which is also available on Amazon. You can find a full resource for this book at InnovateInsideTheBox.com.
Below is the current table of contents which will house additional links, resources, as well as discussion questions for each chapter. I wanted to provide this as a space that brings the book to life and encourages people to go deeper into the content, as well as provide links and questions to guide any book chats on the topic.
Here is an endorsement from Michael Fullan, Canadian educational researcher and former dean of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education.:
“At last here is an Innovator’s Mindset for everyday teachers and students. Clear, exciting, practical examples galore, and discussion questions. George Couros takes us into the innovative mind and action set and does not let us escape. Be prepared to enter a new world that makes learning and innovation synonymous.”Michael Fullan, Author and Consultant.
