Innovation in Education

For 20 years, the Intergenerational Schools have been experimenting, adapting, personalizing and innovating education for Cleveland's elementary and middle-grade students.

Over this time, we've established a culture of empowerment, collaboration and accountability to help transform the school experience for students as well as staff. Our schools measure performance alongside traditional public schools through state testing. But our structure as a nonprofit, public charter school gives us the space and freedom to blaze our own trails to meet those guidelines.

 

Qualities of a Thriving Intergenerational Schools Teacher:

  • You see things a little differently and embrace innovation
  • You believe education is a tool for social justice, and that every child deserves access to transformative education
  • You believe everyone in a community, from the youngest to the oldest, has value and an important point of view
  • You have a passion for teaching and a love of learning
  • You're a creative problem-solver and enjoy experimenting to find the best solutions to making ideas stick
  • You believe worksheets make great hamster cage filler but have little use for them otherwise
