Publisher's Summary
Kids walk into schools full of wonder and questions. How you, as an educator, respond to students' natural curiosity can help further their own exploration and shape the way they learn today and in the future.
The traditional system of education requires students to hold their questions and compliantly stick to the scheduled curriculum. But our job as educators is to provide new and better opportunities for our students. It's time to recognize that compliance doesn't foster innovation, encourage critical thinking, or inspire creativity - and those are the skills our students need to succeed.
In The Innovator's Mindset, George Couros encourages teachers and administrators to empower their learners to wonder, to explore - and to become forward-thinking leaders.
If we want innovative students, we need innovative educators. In other words, innovation begins with you. Ultimately, innovation is not about a skill set: it's about a mindset.
The Innovator's Mindset is for you if:
- You are a superintendent, district administrator, or principal who wants to empower your staff to create a culture of innovation
- You are a school leader - at any level - and want to help students and educators become their personal best
- You are a teacher who wants to create relevant learning experiences and help students develop the skills they need to be successful
You'll be inspired to:
- Connect with other innovative educators
- Support teachers and leaders as learners
- Tap into the strength of your learning community
- Create ongoing opportunities for innovation
- Seek more effective methods for measuring progress
- And, most importantly, embrace change and use it to do something amazing

Thank you!
I am so grateful for your commitment to learn, change, and share all you have learned. I appreciate knowing that learning should be an individuals passion. Changing the way we think and teach is a must. Finally, sharing what we have learned with others is how we help bring about change in our schools. I have learned so much from your genius book. This is a must read or a must listen for every teacher. I know I will be listening to your audio book a few more times this school year. I will definitely be implementing digital portfolios as my first change. I will continue to change and be the teacher all children deserve, including yours. Thank you for the inspiration and wisdom you give all educators in this book!

I’ll begin by saying I’ve recommended this book to colleagues many times. The wavering, however, is not too read this book expecting to find ideas; you want find much in the way of gran and go. If you’re going to read this book, read it for its potential for inspiration and motivation. This is a really good book (prepping for COVID-19 2021-22 SY).

A Must!
I listened to this book every time I got in my car for a week. Halfway through it I downloaded the Kindle version too and I’m now about to listen to the audio version for a 2nd time. This book is a pivotal read/listen if you’re an Educator. Everything I believe about Teaching as well as all the stuff I didn’t know I believed (!) IS IN THIS BOOK. Get acquainted with George on Twitter too - he has some really good thoughts both inside and outside of the box!
