•If teachers are not involved in innovative activity, they are not likely to understand how to create the conditions in which students learn how to be innovative…

David Hargreaves, Chief Executive of the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority, defining 'innovation' at a CreativeNet conference, 22 November 2000
