Teachers’ engagement in Design Based Research (DBR) is analyzed in the context of the Innovative School (ISC) model. The ISC model emphasizes the development of students’ learning and learning environments, teachers’ professionalism, leadership and partnerships. The model engages teachers, students, school principals, parents, and actors of the local community in the design and adoption of educational innovations. Three Finnish teachers who had participated in DBR projects focusing on the use of Information and Communications Technology in education and collaboration in an ISC context were interviewed in order to understand how they experienced 1) the operations of the school and 2) DBR projects carried out by teams of teachers and researchers. All the interviewed teachers agreed that DBR projects in the context of ISC supported them in the design and adoption of educational innovations. As key success factors, they emphasized the importance of equality and the sharing of the same world between teachers and researchers as well as the commitment to collaboration.
