The Innovative Teaching Academy is an online course/program created and run by A.J. Juliani. Throughout the six months, A.J. and a team of innovative leaders will lead discussions, activities, and projects that help teachers and leaders develop the knowledge and skills for innovative teaching and learning.
You’ll build knowledge of innovative practices, resources, and research each week in readings, videos and discussions. You’ll also receive a specific mini-course each month that will help build your skills in the areas of blogging, social media, design thinking, project-based learning, learning space redesign, and habit stacking.
Your Instructor
Juliani is the author of four books, including the best-selling LAUNCH. He is the creator of the Genius Hour Master Course, and also teaches courses at University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education. Juliani currently serves as the Director of Technology and Innovation in a public school district. The previous two years he served as an Education and Technology Innovation Specialist (Administrator). Previously Juliani has worked as a K-12 Technology Staff Developer overseeing a 1:1 initiative, a middle school ELA teacher, and a high school English teacher (as well as a football and lacrosse coach). More importantly, A.J. is someone who truly believes in the “inquiry-driven” education movement. I have four kids of my own, and I want them to grow up in a world that values their ideas. This blog and site serve as place where I can share ideas and thoughts around “Intentional Innovation” and the future of learning.
