TEACHER LEADERSHIP & DEEPER LEARNING FOR ALL STUDENTS

In this new paper commissioned by the Ford Foundation, Barnett Berry makes the case for how a system of teacher leadership and learning can fuel deeper learning for all students. 

Here is what the paper tackles:

examines current reforms’ limitations and notes some promising emergent examples, (like Social Justice Humanitas Academy in LAUSD); summarizes 30 years of research about how teachers learn and lead (also drawing on stories of teachers CTQ has worked with since our founding in 1998); identifies three promising shifts that could be leveraged to create an effective system of teacher leadership and learning; and
describes next steps that stakeholders (including policymakers, USDOE, state education leaders, superintendents, and others) can take to advance teacher leadership toward a more equitable public education system.  

The infographic below reveals 3 big changes we can leverage now to improve public education for all students.

Here's one way in which learning in a knowledge society may happen. Do you see glimmers of this reality emerging? How might it effect what college should be doing for you? Something to think about.

Très intéressant ! Dommage que le document ne soit pas également disponible en français, car j'ai des doutes sur la terminologie en français...
