  1. GLOBAL EDUCATION LEADERS’ PROGRAM BC in the Context of an International Network

  2. What is GELP? • Based in London, Innovation Unit • Invites leaders from a diverse range of jurisdictions to work systemically on what Education 3.0 might look like at scale • GELP works on how to achieve system transformation

  3. What is GELP? • Focus on the central role and responsibility of the learner • Refine vision for teaching and learning in 21st century • Accelerate/maintain transformation in jurisdictions • Develop capacity of system leaders and support shared research and learning

  4. Power of the Network GELP COHORTS Cohort 1 • England UK • Ontario, Canada • Victoria, Australia • New York City, USA Cohort 2 • Australia • Chaoyang District, Beijing, China • Finland • New Zealand • South Korea Cohort 3 • British Columbia • India • Brazil • US/Innovation Lab Network

  5. Who Are We? Established by the Ministry in Spring of 2011 Team Members: • Rod Allen, Ministry of Education • Cathy Elliott, Ministry of Education • Mike McKay, Surrey School District • Chris Kennedy, West Vancouver School District Commitment to share GELP information, ideas and practices

  6. Innovation and Transformation These words are used (and overused) in BC right now Take 5 minutes and talk with the person beside you about what “innovation” and “transformation” mean to you and something you have seen in a school that you would describe as innovative or transformative

  7. Global and Provincial LearningAn Activity Let’s quickly get ready! • Form groups of 6 • Pull your chairs together in a circle • Place large chart on the floor in centre of circle • Hold onto that envelope!

  8. System Transformation and Innovation

  9. Four Global Examples

  10. Hole in the Wall First built by the computer scientist Prof. Sugata Mitra in a slum in Kaskaji, New Delhi, this is a rugged outdoor computer stuck into a “hole-in-the-wall”  in communal space where it is accessible to all children. On the computer is software which encourages self-led, collaborative, play-based learning. There is no “training” for the kids, and no compulsion. The educators simply set up the computer (which looks quite a lot like a cash machine) and let the kids work out how to use it. Results have often been remarkable: in one town, known for its singers, children (with no adult help) worked out how to record their own songs within 24 hours.

  11. Kunskapsskolan Kunskapsskolan is a for-profit operator of state-funded secondary schools in Sweden. Working with mentors, students at Kunskapsskolan set their own long-term and short-term learning goals and plan how they will meet them. The curriculum is divided into cross-curricular "themes" rather than subjects, and into "steps" that students progress through at their own pace, rather than year-by-year expectations for attainment. Students record their own progress in "logbooks", which their parents and mentors use to track each pupil’s progress and plan lessons and tutorials. Hence, autonomy is wound together tightly with personal accountability.

  12. High Tech High At High Tech High, a set of charter schools in Southern California, students learn through extended, multidisciplinary projects that conclude with exhibitions to the general public. Throughout their time at High Tech High, students are developing a digital portfolio of their project work, which is accessible to anyone through the High Tech High website. Though projects are rigorous and content-rich, students have freedom within the brief to pursue what they find most compelling. The photograph above illustrates this – it is from “Calculicious", a project whose brief was to create an artwork that illustrated an aspect of calculus.

  13. TheFlipped Classroom The Flipped Classroom, developed by US teacher Aaron Sams, is a very simple concept: teachers record lectures as videos. Students watch the lectures as "homework", so they can watch them whenever (and however often) they like. They then spend class time working on projects, clarifying points about the lecture, and discussing the lectures’ content. The traditional relationship between school and homework is "flipped’: the "lectures" take place at home, and the information is applied in the classroom.

  14. A Few Examples of BC Innovations • Read one card together as a group • Discuss placement on the grid • Place card and repeat... • Discussion key – no need to do all the cards

  15. Making the Case for Change Affiliation Transformation Diffusion • How/Why do we made a case for change in a high performing system? • What affiliation strategies are needed in the 21st Century? • Diffusion: vertical, horizontal, both. What diffusion strategies do we need to employ?

  16. Questions from the audience
