Before we get too far into 2017 I like to reflect on what has been and make predictions for what the year ahead will mean for education. Outside of changes to our company, I predict 2017 will bring five major changes to education as a whole. Time and time again I find myself thinking “Darn, my predictions aren’t half bad but things are moving too slowly, slower than I expected.”

To really take stock of EdClusters in 2017, we first need to revisit the foundation and origin of Education Innovation Clusters — what they are, how they work, and how they are progressing. In 2017, we initiated a research project with seven EdClusters and key research partners. Both of these working groups grew out of a breakfast we hosted at SXSWedu in March 2017, during which EdClusters workshopped different needs and how they might tackle them.
