About Us

The Brock Institute endeavors to fuel a culture of idea-generation, powered by the spirit of innovation and collaboration. We are committed to the innovative process of recombining existing resources and promising ideas into something better. We actively seek out and reward ideas proven to enhance educational outcomes. Toward this end, our approach is centered on the following core values:

Collective Purpose: We are united behind the education and well-being of ALL children—our community; our children.

Contributor Mindset: We seek to engage every sector of society to play a role in educating our children—it takes a village.

Creative Recombination: We are committed to cost-effective practice and resource efficiency. We see potential in leveraging pre-existing resources (human, physical, and intellectual) with innovative ideas and strategies.

The Brock Institute is dedicated to serving a diverse networked learning community united behind the collective purpose of educating the next generation. We are committed to the sustainable growth and development of our school communities and our leaders.

Central to the work of the Brock Prize, The Brock Leadership Lab, The Ellis Walker Woods Award, and the Innovating Education Podcast is connecting and celebrating PEOPLE. Our human resources play an essential role in fostering innovation toward improvement, therefore, we recognize the importance of promoting well-being for long-term success.
