Before you start designing and implementing any innovation, clearly define the problem you are trying to solve and the goal you are aiming for. This will help you focus your efforts and measure your outcomes. To identify the problem and the goal, listen to your students. Take the time to understand their needs and expectations. Use various methods to gather this feedback, from surveys and interviews to focus groups and observation. You can also involve students in problem-solving activities, such as brainstorming or prototyping.
Once you've identified your problem and goal, invite students to co-design the solution with you. Co-design is a participatory approach that involves students as equal partners in the innovation process, from generating ideas to testing and refining them. It allows you to tap into your students' creativity and expertise, as well as to ensure that the solution is feasible and relevant for them. Various techniques can be used to facilitate co-design, including workshops, hackathons, or design sprints.

I’ve always included students and their input at the beginning of any processes that will solve problems and address issues relevant to the student experience. Decisions cannot be made in a vacuum or based on our assumptions of how students will be impacted. Advocating for and amplifying the voices of students in these spaces has allowed me to be a better administrator l, while also ensuring decisions are made with knowledge of the student perspective.

Involving students in the co-design process empowers them as active contributors to solutions that directly impact their learning experience. By fostering a collaborative environment, educators harness students' creativity and insights, ensuring that solutions are both feasible and meaningful. Techniques like workshops or hackathons provide structured platforms for idea generation and iteration, fostering ownership and engagement. Co-design not only cultivates innovative solutions but also strengthens relationships between educators and students, fostering a culture of co-creation and shared responsibility.
Now you need to implement and evaluate your solution. Both implementation and evaluation require continuous student feedback and input. You can use various methods, like user testing or feedback loops, to collect and analyze student input during this stage. Flexibility and responsiveness to adapt to changing circumstances and challenges are also key.
The final step in the innovation process is to communicate and celebrate the results with your students and other stakeholders. Doing so can help build trust and engagement among your stakeholders. It can also inspire further innovation and improvement. Share results via various methods, like reports, presentations, videos, or even events.
