Worlds of Education is celebrating the completion of the first phase of Education International‘s Quality for Education campaign with several insightful articles by globally renowned policymakers, educators, authors and researchers.
Included in the publication is Fullan new article, Next Steps in Teacher Policy: Clarifying dangerous half truths. Here Fullan presents six ideas that in combination lead to greater performance of the teaching profession as a whole and thus, greater education achievement of students.
We have been working in California and, among so many others, are committed to and interested in how it can improve its education performance statewide over the next four years—improvements across the entire system and all of its levels.

Starting January 8th we will be posting weekly videos every Thursday for 22 weeks. These short topic clips, 2-3 minutes each, feature Michael Fullan and capture educators on site. They are real life examples suitable for teachers, principals, and administrators, designed and filmed to illustrate ‘motion leadership in action’.
We hope you enjoy them and look forward to your feedback!
