The project is the result of a joint initiative by INDIRE and a group of 22 founding schools. This led to the identification and definition of some innovative and sustainable teaching schemes which allowed the definition of the first 12 “Ideas for Innovation”. INDIRE and the schools heading the Avanguardie educative (Educational Avant-garde) movement drew up a Manifesto for Innovation.
The Movement welcomes Italian schools’ initiatives contributing to promoting innovation that is sustainable and transferable: the goal of avant-garde schools is to identify innovation and to make it implementable, sustainable, and replicable in other situations. In this respect, it is necessary to identify those key elements to standardise practices to create a transferable and sustainable model for suitable contexts. Within the three basic dimensions of teaching, Physical Space, Time and Didactics, the Movement has developed 18 innovative Ideas:
Subject-related Classroom Lab
Flexible Spaces
Grade Retention with Course Credits
Block Scheduling
TEAL (Technology Enabled Active Learning)
Integration of Digital Educational Content
Spaced Learning
ICT Lab
Flipped Classroom
Scenario-based Teaching
Debating
Inside/Outside School
Differentiated Learning
Beyond the school subjects
Independent Learning and Tutoring
Service learning
MLTV (Making Learning and Thinking Visible)
Heuristic Dialogue
The Movement welcomes Italian schools’ initiatives contributing to:
1) making innovation processes replicable and sustainable by drawing inspiration from the “Gallery of Ideas for Innovation” (Adopt an Idea);
2) expanding the collection of ideas with new proposals (Submit an Innovation Experience).
In the first case, the schools that try out one or more “Ideas for Innovation” become part of an in person and online support scheme (themed webinars, multimedia materials, asynchronous interactions, online reception desk, etc.). They also share ideas with INDIRE and the founding schools to make innovation experiences replicable. In this way constant assistance is provided to teachers and headmasters.

Schools that wish to join the Movement can do so by adopting one of these ideas. In addition, the collection of ideas can be enriched in the future by other innovative experiences presented by schools.
