The R4C School Innovation Model

The R4C SIM describes a framework that facilitates the transformation of schools to Digitally Mature Open Schooling Hubs. The project Reflecting for Change (R4C) is working on an advanced support framework, as well as a set of core policy recommendations, to schools seeking to introduce a type of holistic change that will ensure a meaningful uptake of sustainable innovation, with an emphasis on achieving improved learning outcomes as set by the Europe 2020 strategy. In the R4C approach, innovation is understood in terms of a school’s pathway to digital maturity (e-maturity) and its comprehensive relationship to the use of ICT, as well as a school’s pathway to openness demonstrated in its relationship with external stakeholders
