Abstract: Innovative learning practices are highly student-centric and student-responsive. Yet, while many educators talk about wanting their classrooms to emphasize student-centered learning, few schools actually walk the walk in terms of creating a school culture that supports the sustainable implementation of concepts, such as individualizing learning to meet the needs of all students and supporting a more comprehensive set of student needs than simply academic knowledge. Using research-based practices and programs provided by Gradient Learning, Summit Learning schools are ahead of the curve in sustaining innovative teaching practices that are centered on a commitment to student-centric learning. It therefore is helpful to examine what works in Summit Learning schools as a guide to helping other schools on their journey to support enhanced learning experiences for all students. On behalf of Gradient Learning, Project Tomorrow® designed and implemented two online surveys in spring 2023 to collect both quantitative and qualitative feedback from Summit Learning teachers and school leaders nationwide. The current data collection represents the third year of examining the lived experiences and perceptions of Summit Learning teachers and school leaders about the impact of various innovative practices within their classrooms and schools.
