Sample
An innovation configuration is a tool for
developing and evaluating structural components
of a program. The first column lists many of the
potential activities, services, elements and
resources. The columns, moving from left to
right, depict emerging stages of development. The
far right column describes each potential
activity, service, element and resource as if it
were completely constructed and implemented. Each
of the structural components (curriculum,
responsive services, student planning and system
support) contains an innovation configuration
with sample rows listing and describing important
parts of the component in its various stages of
development.
