![what is next practice?
“In one sense ‘next’ practice is like tomorrow: it is never here. The
term is meant, though, to convey the notion of genuinely new
approaches rooted in practical understanding.” (Innovation Unit)
“There is a lot of research focused on best practice, but I focus on
next practice. Next practice [is]: future-oriented .... about
connecting the dots. Next practice is disciplined imagination.” (CK
Prahalad, Professor of Business Administration at the University of
Michigan)
“Next practices open up new ways of working – are much more likely
to come from thoughtful, experienced, self-confident practitioners
trying to find new and more effective solutions to intractable
problems.” (Improvement and Development Agency UK)](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/workshop2-120508174136-phpapp01/75/ACT-Education-and-Training-Directorate-Leadership-Conference-2012-4-2048.jpg)

ACT Education and Training Directorate Leadership Conference 2012
The document discusses the concept of "next practice" in education, which focuses on developing genuinely new approaches to teaching and learning through disciplined imagination. It proposes a "next practice" innovation model that supports practitioners in developing creative solutions to problems while maintaining relevance. The model encourages small groups of empowered teachers to push boundaries and share innovations so they can be implemented more widely. Two examples are provided: digital learning labs where teachers develop skills and new pedagogies, and a blended learning initiative where students work in cross-class teams using social networking and digital tools.

The Next Practice model: • Supports practitioners and gives them the creative space and incentives they need to be innovative. • Develops interventions that both release professional imagination, whilst encouraging work that is disciplined and system relevant. • Assists schools to learn from the resultant innovation and its process characteristics so that these can be taken to scale.
