ABSTRACT

This chapter presents case studies from four experienced teachers who reflect on ways in which they have applied entrepreneurial thinking to achieve different types of innovation in classroom teaching or developed new programs within schools. I present case studies addressing the development of student creativity (Kai-Stefanie Lorimer, Case Study 10.1), innovation in teaching Chinese (Mandarin) and Asia Literacy (Song Huang, Case Study 10.2), innovation in the early childhood classroom (Viki Rozsas, Case Study 10.3), and student learning through productive failure (Nicholas Teh, Case Study 10.4). Throughout earlier chapters there are links to each of these case studies from across the various theory discussions in Chapters 1 to 8. You are encouraged to use these as a source of reflection for your own learning.

Keywords: creativity, productive failure, risk, stakeholders.
