6 Changing education can be like moving graveyards The status quo has many protectors Everyone supports reform except for their own children Even those who promote reforms often change their mind when they understand what change entails for them The frogs rarely clear the swamp The loss of privilege is pervasive because of the extent of vested interests Asymmetry of costs and benefits of educational reform Costs are certain and immediate, benefits are uncertain and long-term Lack of supportive ecosystems Lack of an education industry that pushes innovation and absorbs risks A research sector that is often disengaged from the real needs of real classrooms You can lose an election but you don t win one over education Complexity and length of reform trajectory that extend electoral cycles A substantial gap between the time when the cost of reform is incurred, and the time when benefits materialise

7 When fast gets really fast, being slow to adapt makes education really slow Industrial systems Some students learn at high levels World class systems Student inclusion All students need to learn at high levels Routine cognitive skills Curriculum, instruction and assessment Complex ways of thinking and working Standardisation and compliance Teacher education High-level professional knowledge workers Tayloristic, industrial Work organisation Flat, collegial, entrepreneurial Primarily to authorities Accountability Primarily to peers and stakeholders

Goldin & Katz (Harvard)

24 What teachers say and what teachers do

25 95% of teachers: My role as a teacher is to facilitate students own inquiry

26 82%: Students learn best by findings solutions on their own

27 85%: Thinking and reasoning is more important than curriculum content

28 Prevalence of memorisation rehearsal, routine exercises, drill and practice and/or repetition Prevalence of elaboration reasoning, deep learning, intrinsic motivation, critical thinking, creativity, non-routine problems United Kingdom Netherlands Spain Norway United States Singapore Canada Shanghai-China Sweden France Korea Japan Germany Poland Switzerland High Low Low High

29 Source: Figure 4.3 Memorisation is less useful as problems become more difficult (OECD average) Greater success 1.00 Odds ratio Easy problem R² = 0.81 Less 0.70 success Difficult problem Difficulty of mathematics item on the PISA scale

30 Elaboration strategies are more useful as problems become more difficult (OECD average) Greater success Odds ratio 1.50 R² = 0.82 Difficult problem Less success 0.80 Easy problem Difficulty of mathematics item on the PISA scale Source: Figure 6.2

31 Some lessons from high performers Rigor, focus and coherence Remain true to the disciplines but aim at interdisciplinary learning and the capacity of students to see problems through multiple lenses Balance knowledge of disciplines and knowledge about disciplines Focus on areas with the highest transfer value Requiring a theory of action for how this transfer value occurs Authenticity Thematic, problem-based, project-based, co-creation in conversation Some things are caught not taught Immersive learning propositions

32 The past was divided Teachers and content divided by subjects and student destinations Schools designed to keep students inside, and the rest of the world outside

33 The future is integrated Integrated: Emphasising integration of subjects, integration of students and integration of learning contexts Connected: with real-world contexts, and permeable to the rich resources in the community Less subject-based, more project-based

34 Prescription

35 Ownership of professional practice Powerful learning environments are constantly creating synergies and finding new ways to enhance professional, social and cultural capital with others. They do that with families and communities, with higher education, with other schools and learning environments, and with businesses.

36 Making teaching not just financially, but intellectually more attractive Public confidence in profession and professionals Professional preparation and learning Collective ownership of professional practice Decisions made in accordance with the body of knowledge o the profession Professional responsibility in the name of the profession and accountability towards the profession

37 Policy levers to teacher professionalism Policy levers to teacher professionalism Autonomy: Teachers decisionmaking power over their work (teaching content, course offerings, discipline practices) Peer networks: Opportunities for exchange and support needed to maintain high standards of teaching (participation in induction, mentoring, networks, feedback from direct observations) Teacher professionalism Knowledge base for teaching (initial education and incentives for professional development)

The main shortcoming is often not a lack of financial resources, but a dearth of human capacity at every level of the system. Looking outward School systems that feel threatened by alternative ways of thinking get trapped in old practice. The ones that progress are those that are open to the world and ready to learn from and with the world s education leaders.
