There is Something Different About 2014

Insight from Michael

I have been working on educational change for almost 50 years. There is something different about 2014. There is a grand convergence spontaneously erupting. I think it is a natural dynamic of push and pull. The push, to put it directly, is a combination of the boredom and alienation of students and teachers. Students won’t wait, and teachers can’t wait. It is simply intolerable for students and teachers to be at school every day when increasing numbers of them would rather be somewhere else.

Australia Workshop Tour: Maximizing Leadership for Change

Workshop Title: Maximizing Leadership for Change

Summary: Powerful push and pull factors are forcing current education systems to dramatically change, and are placing radically new demands on leaders at all levels. The push factors are boredom of students, alienation of teachers, and relentless expectations and accountability from the public for greater performance. The pull factors are new learning modes that are intrinsic to the human condition (intrinsically meaningful learning, and working with others), and the allure of the digital world.

The New Pedagogy Work

August 7, 2013Michael Fullan Admin 1 Comment

I am excited to be working on an interrelated set of projects that all feed into deepening learning through integrating new learning relationships between and among teachers and students. Our group produced two reports so far: Alive in the Swamp, and Towards a New End. We will continue this work through the Collaborative Impact Group and through a special report with Pearson.
