Abstract: This paper presents the results of a research into how school middle leaders in Singapore understand and practise 'innovation in education'. According to the research findings, these middle leaders felt that while 'innovation in education' was hard to define, it should appeal to the 'common-sense' of educators and have real educational value. They also indicated that the practice of 'innovation in education' should be mainly targeted at curriculum, teaching and learning, and involved them 'leading by example'. The challenges of 'innovation in education' involved a balance between educational ideals and school realities, which was not easy to achieve.
