A 5,000-word written submission in two parts, discussing the concept of innovation and education.

This is the brief from my university:

Part 1 (worth 50% of the grade)
Examine what ‘innovation in education’ is and the factors which influence it, identifying a specific example of an educational innovation.

A critical analysis of the political, economic, social, cultural, and technological influences on educational policy.
Research, select and describe a recent example of educational innovation including a justification of why it has been selected.

Part 2 (worth 50% of the grade)

My own notes on my chosen innovation:
For part 2, I would like to focus on the IB(International Baccalaureate) curriculum in International Schools, more specifically the innovation associated with the IB system’s final assessment, and the innovation associated with Collaborative Planning that takes place among the teachers within IB schools as opposed to other school systems.
