Introduction
A part of the Department of Organizational Leadership, Policy, and Development in the College of Education and Human Development at the University of Minnesota, Leapfrog Institutes partner with educators to envision and work ahead of their contemporaries in teaching, research, innovation, and service. Leapfrog is a paradigmatic jump into best case uses of existing and leading-edge technologies in hardware, software, and knowledge-based intellectual formats. The Leapfrog Institutes:
- Serve as a hub for promoting intellectual leadership.
- Collaborate with PreK-12 institutions on the development of innovative teaching and the construction of schools of innovation.
- Collaborate with post-secondary institutions, industries and governments on the purposive use of technologies in education and learning.
- Continue action research and scholarship through the development of Web-based co-seminars with global partners, exploring advanced linkages between Leapfrog-oriented institutions ranging from now and into long-term futures.
