Review: Couros passionately and takes the idea of “innovation” and makes it accessible to all educators! - The Innovator's Mindset: Empower, Unleash Talent, and Lead a Culture of Creativity by George Couros is by far one of the best educational reads to inspire, motivate, and empower educators. Couros speaks to his audience in a voice that is relatable, empathetic, and practical. I was searching for a book to utilize for a book discussion with the new teachers in the Mentor Program I lead in my school district, and when I came upon this read, I looked no further. Couros immediately captured my attention as he passionately and seamlessly takes the idea of "innovation" and makes it accessible and meaningful to all leaders and teachers! He talks about how innovation does not have to be a complex idea, but can be a movement toward making intentional shifts that will transform an educators' current instructional practices; he encourages educators to reimagine their curriculum, instruction, and assessments while keeping the learner at the center of all decision making. Furthermore, the 8 Characteristics of The Innovator's Mindset should be the cornerstone of how all educators approach leadership, teaching and learning in an educational organization! Couros values the idea of leading with empathy, developing relationships, connecting, networking, and building trust; with relationships at the core of what we do, the important work of risk-taking, creating, problem-solving will propel learners into self-discovery, develop their social, emotional, and academic capacity, while using their imagination and creativity in dynamic, energetic, and rewarding ways! I cannot tell you how much positive feedback the book has received from the educators I work with. They have been extremely excited and motivated to immediately implement the many practical ideas George Couros suggests; one being Identity Day-where educators and people in the educational organization get the opportunity to share their passions and interests with the school community; an extremely empowering learning experience where student voice and choice is the heart of the activity! My advice....RUN to get this book because your lens on education, innovation, creativity, and learning will be impacted in the most inspiring, thought provoking ways!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must Read for Educators and Educational Leaders
*by J***R on January 5, 2016*

I recently finished reading the book The Innovator's Mindset by George Couros and am eager to continue the conversation of the book's contents with anyone. Over the past few years, I have read all of George's blog posts because his thoughts on education resonate with my educational philosophy, so to say I connected with the book would be an understatement. We are in an exciting time in education with so many opportunities for ourselves and our students, so George starts by defining innovation "...as a way of thinking that creates something new and better." His positive and straight-forward approach throughout the book encourages his readers to embrace change. He strategically provides opportunities to look at our selves/school/district in the "mirror" through questions posed in the book while opening the door to considering something better because we should never be done innovating, growing, and learning. This book is a must read if you are... 1. an educator or school leader. 2. truly focused on "What is best for each learner?" 3. open to new ideas to ponder, discuss, and develop. 4. ready to challenge the status quo. 5. interested in creating new and better educational opportunities for your students. 6. open to considering well-developed ideas to make school a more innovative place for students. The words in The Innovator's Mindset are not just words in a book, but rather a thoughtful culmination of George's own journey towards an Innovator's Mindset. As a connected educator himself, George connects the dots of current education thought and synthesizes the information in a way that encourages all educators to move forward. Spending some quality time with this book is the perfect place to start. The Innovator's Mindset is another outstanding book from Dave Burgess Publishing. I have read most of the books in the Dave Burgess publishing series and found each one to be though-provoking as each author underscores better educational opportunities for students. These books are outstanding for book study discussions which can lead to positive changes in your classroom/school/district.
