WHEREAS, Established in 2013, the Innovation Collaborative |
|
|
is a national transdisciplinary forum that aims to foster |
|
|
creativity, innovation, and equity in teaching and learning; the |

the ways in which effective intersections of the arts, sciences, |

creative thinking and lifelong learning; in addition, the |
|
|
collaborative encourages networking across disciplines and |
|
|
institutions in both formal and informal settings; and |
|
|

|
|
Network for Sciences, Engineering, Arts and Design, which is an |
|
|
initiative of the National Science Foundation, National Education |
|
|
Association, and the National Endowment for the Humanities; since |
|
|
its inception, the collaborative has developed an active Research |
|
|
Thought Leaders group consisting of notable researchers in the |
|
|
arts, sciences, and humanities, as well as a multi-year national |
|
|
research project to identify practices that support creative and |
|
|
innovative thinking in kindergarten through 12th grade; moreover, |
|
|
the group has delivered presentations at a number of national |
|
|
conferences and offered research-based professional STEAM |
|
|
development to teachers, administrators, and schools across the |
|
|
United States; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Innovation Collaborative benefits from the able |
|
|
guidance of its founder and executive director, Lucinda Presley, |
|
|
and its strategic advisor, Dr. Jonathan Katz; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, True to its mission, the Innovation Collaborative |
|
|
has demonstrated an admirable commitment to promoting a diverse, |
|
|
equitable, and inclusive society in which students are engaged and |
|
|
empowered to become the critical thinkers, innovators, and leaders |
|
|
of tomorrow; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the 10th anniversary of the |
|
|
Innovation Collaborative and extend to all those associated with |
|
