| Abstract | As not only the world in general, but also educational systems in particular are rapidly changing in an environment fraught with contradictions, such systems undergo broad reform processes. Thus, individuals working in educational institutions are faced with the need to keep up with such changes and uncertainties. To meet these challenges within the education sector, people are needed who critically participate in decision-making processes. Given that there is a strong connection between critical thinking, participation and innovativeness, this paper argues that by focusing on the latter, all three can be strengthened. It does so by providing theoretical impulses for discourses on innovation and by subsequently outlining a model of innovativeness in a German context. The theoretical discussion considers both, innovativeness as ability and innovation processes. Innovativeness, the ability to participate in these innovation processes, contains a set of the three sub-abilities reflexivity (the ability to question current circumstances and point out issues), creativity (the ability to develop solutions for stated problems) and implementivity (the ability of implementing a solution). Innovation processes consider identifying problems, finding solutions and implementation strategies for them. After this theoretical elaboration, the paper introduces a practical simulation method developed for a workshop with the aim of discussing unequal opportunities regarding social mobility, an issue that is often pointed out as a problem especially in the German context. As such, the simulation aims to foster innovativeness by initiating its development and demonstrates how the theoretical discussion on innovativeness can be applied to a real life scenario.
