Week Seven - Organizational Structures that Support 21st Century Learning and Teaching!
Major obstacles to creating and sustaining change are the current organizational structures of education. Throughout the decades of efforts to reform education, we have continued to try to implement change from within the traditional and obsolete structures - from the facilities and schoolyards to the curriculum to assessment, schedules and more. These efforts have failed.
We cannot change without actually CHANGING! We must change the culture of education, and a significant piece of that change is creating organizational structures needed to support 21st century learning.
This week you will be introduced to new organizational structures that are happening in a growing number of districts and schools right now! You will be introduced to the educators who are making these changes successfully, and meet students from their schools.
You will learn how to create the best organizational structures for your schools!
