About the Leapfrog Initiatives

The Leapfrog Initiatives aim to build positive futures for PreK-21 education and the communities that we serve.

Sponsored by the College of Education and Human Development at the University of Minnesota and its partnering institutions, Leapfrog Initiatives work ahead of their contemporaries in teaching, research, innovation, and service. Leapfrog is a paradigmatic jump into best case uses of existing and edge technologies in hardware, software, and intellectual formats. The Leapfrog Initiatives:

1. Serve as a hub for Leapfrog-oriented conversations
2. Collaborate with PreK-12 institutions on the development of innovative teaching and the construction of schools of innovation
3. Collaborate with other institutions, industry and governments on the purposive use of technologies in education
4. Continue action research and scholarship through the development of co-seminars with global partners
5. Explore further linkages between Leapfrog-oriented institutions

Our mission is to build positive futures for human capital development through the infusion of creativity and innovation in education. We accomplish this mission through collaborative delivery of services with educators, industry, and the communities we serve.

Our members are school districts and other organizations that aim to lead a paradigmatic jump into the best case uses of existing and cutting-edge technologies in hardware, software, and intellectual formats.
