Part of the problem is that innovation in education is hard to define. The nonprofit organization, Education Evolving, thinks about innovation within the context of what learning should really look like for today’s students. They define effective learning as being built on “a foundation of strong relationships, responsive to basic needs, driven by student interests, respectful of their identities, adaptive to their academic needs, relevant to their lives beyond school, and not confined within school days and walls.”1 In short, innovative learning practices are highly student-centric and student-responsive. Yet, while many educators talk about wanting their classrooms to emphasize student-centered learning, few schools actually walk the walk in terms of creating a school culture that supports the sustainable implementation of concepts, such as individualizing learning to meet the needs of all students and supporting a more comprehensive set of student needs than simply academic knowledge.  \nUsing research-based practices and programs provided by Gradient Learning, Summit Learning schools are ahead of the curve in sustaining innovative teaching practices that are centered on a commitment to student-centric learning. Their work is naturally evolutionary, leveraging lessons learned to support continuous improvement and layering in new innovations as appropriate. It therefore is helpful to examine what works in Summit Learning schools as a guide to helping other schools on their journey to support enhanced learning experiences for all students. On behalf of Gradient Learning, Project Tomorrow® designed and implemented two online surveys in spring 2023 to collect both quantitative and qualitative feedback from Summit Learning teachers and school leaders nationwide. This year’s data collection represents the third year of examining the lived experiences and perceptions of Summit Learning teachers and school leaders about the impact of various innovative practices within their classrooms and schools.  \nKey findings from this year’s Summit Learning Teacher and School Leader Feedback Study that can inform and inspire other schools include:  \n1 [https://www.ednc.org/perspective-what-is-educational-innovation-here-are-some-common-themes/](https://www.ednc.org/perspective-what-is-educational-innovation-here-are-some-common-themes/)  \n1. 9-in-10 Summit Learning teachers say they are using a variety of differentiation strategies and resources to support their students.  \n2. 53% of teachers report being very comfortable leveraging technology to support the differentiation of instruction within their classroom; only 29% of teachers nationwide have that same comfort level.  \n3. 90% of teachers and 96% of school leaders attribute having a shared school vision to Summit Learning.  \n4. Summit Learning teachers and school leaders have a higher level of satisfaction with their education career than teachers nationwide.  \n5. 73% of teachers say they would not want to go back to how they were teaching prior to the Summit Learning implementation in their classroom.  \nTo facilitate effective usage of the findings and insights from the analysis of the teacher and school leader feedback, the report is organized into the following chapters:  \n1. Profile of teacher and school leader respondents (pages 3 – 6)  \n2. Implementation of innovative classroom practices: What is happening in Summit Learning schools (pages 6 – 20)  \na. Differentiation of instruction to enable individualization of student learning  \nb. Purposeful use of digital tools and resources to support classroom goals  \nc. Laser-like focus on helping students develop future-ready skills and mindsets  \nd.
