Change Forces: Probing the Depths of Educational Reform

48 Change Forces: Probing the Depths of Educational Reform argues that moral purpose – making a difference in the lives of young people – is fundamental to reform but not as straightforward as it seems.

In pursuing the themes of moral purpose and complex change, the book unlocks the ‘black box’ of why collaborative cultures really work and what it takes to create and sustain them. It presents conflict, diversity, and resistance as potentially positive, and as absolutely essential forces for success.

It probes deeply into the role of knowledge inside and outside learning organizations and unpacks the problem of transferability – why obvious good ideas do not get used by others and how to reframe strategies so that larger scale change becomes possible.

New Pedagogies for Deep Learning—or NPDL—believes every student deserves to learn deeply and to support whole systems to transform learning—schools, provinces, states and countries to want to take action, make a positive impact and grasp opportunities that will lead to success in life.

NPDL works alongside educators and governments to change the role of teachers to that of activators of learning who design learning experiences that build on learner strengths and needs, create new knowledge using real-life problem solving and help all students identify their talents, purpose and passion.
