Who is KCI?

The Krause Center for Innovation is a nonprofit professional learning organization that partners with individual educators, school districts, county offices, and strategic partners to change the way educators learn. We develop responsive state certificate programs and workshops in educational technology, STEAM education, and online / blended learning. Our grant-funded Makerspace, located in Los Altos Hills on the campus of Foothill College, showcases the flexible and creative mindset of KCI’s approach to professional learning.

Student Design Thinking and Equity Projects

The Equity Deconstructed STEAM research class was launched for the 2021-2022 school year by seven Monta Vista High School educators in Fremont Union High School District. Students chose their own research topic and created their project using the Stanford d School’s Design Thinking Process, which includes conducting empathy interviews with community members and peers.

Let’s get started

MERIT and OBI exposed me to so many tech tools that have now become essential in my day to day teaching life. They taught me how to utilize these tools and gave me ideas on how to implement them. Without a doubt, the key word to describe these programs is "Innovation". The diverse ways that they have shown me how to incorporate technology into my instruction has fundamentally changed the way that I teach. It has given me the tools and strategies to try new things. It has changed the way I look at learning tools and how I use them. I have been able to not only improve my instruction within my class, but these lessons have bled out to my entire campus. I am now using these tools to improve my campus community and help make things more accessible to students. I would not have ever been able to do this without the support and exposure to technological tools through the two KCI programs I've taken. I'm forever grateful and this program is a MUST TAKE for any educator that is trying to add spice and flavor to their instruction!
