Innovative Experiences 2021

Abstract

The NODO Awards are a joint initiative of the Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC), the National Administration of Public Education (ANEP) and Ceibal that was first implemented in 2021 in Uruguay. The main idea behind this initiative is to celebrate pedagogical innovation and draw attention to the people involved in it by sharing their experiences. The NODO Awards are presented in three categories: Innovative Project, which contemplates transformative pedagogical experiences for better learning; Innovative School, in recognition of the school’s efforts to promote teacher leadership and the strengthening of the professional community for better learning, and The Public’s Recognition, based on the people’s vote. This publication presents a detailed description of each of the award-winning experiences for the purpose of drawing attention to the leaders of the innovation processes and showcasing their work, which is necessarily collective and collaborative.
