What Are I-Teams?
Innovation Teams (I-Teams) are flexible, virtual communities of educators who share similar interests in authentic learning and creative transformation. I-Teams are informal and topic-based, and they meet virtually about 5 times during the school year. Each team is facilitated by passionate educators and designed for connection, collaboration, and curiosity.
