Florida Conference Innovation Initiative
Cultivating Innovators

 In the fall of 2017, the Florida Conference Office of Education embarked upon an exciting journey, Florida Conference Innovation Initiative, to reimagine education through Innovation. The current model of education that is widely used today was designed to support the Second Industrial Revolution. According to the World Economic Forum, we have embarked upon the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This era will require a work force that is equipped with 21st competencies. The vision of the initiative is to enable each student to realize the calling and the destiny that has for them. The mission of the initiative is to transform each of the 29 schools operated by the Florida Conference into hubs of innovation that impact the local community and cultivate within each student the social empathy required to change the world through STEM research, social innovation and entrepreneurship. This multilayered strategy is attacking the problem from all sides of education—technology, teacher education, pedagogy, STEM Education and student engagement.
