Structural factors that inhibit deep learning
● Lack of school autonomy (Uruguay ranked among the five
educational systems with least school autonomy in PISA 2015)
● Teachers contract (Uruguay ranked last in the % of full time
teachers in a single school, PISA 2015)
● Curriculum organization (Lack of a comprehensive curriculum)

New Measures - Comments on the School Conditions Rubric
● “Deep learning goals are a bit lost in a whole lot of other goals.” (Primary School)
● “Curriculum is followed with little or no attention to the students’ interests and needs.” (Secondary School)
● “Students and parents participate at some specific actions to promote the school’s goals and improve our pedagogical practices. There is a group of teachers that promotes reflection on the practices and makes a great effort to motivate the rest of the teachers to work in the framework of New Pedagogies.” (Vocational School)

NPDL offers a frame for interpreting disperse signs of change present in the system and promoting whole system change.
Good combination between a guided plan, specific tools and methods, with flexibility and local autonomy.
Key ingredients:● Quality of capacity building through hands-on
experimentation and reflection ● System of support with well aligned tools (at schools and
virtual)● Narrative of change and ecosystem of communication

Challenges to reach Precision
Purposeful connections
● between schools● real collaboration among teachers in Uy● connections among teachers internationally
Expansion and diffusion ● expansion through voluntarily joining NPDL ● Inspiring new policies embedded in the philosophy of NPDL
48
● Ready: teachers increasingly perceive the need for changing their practices
● Willing: teachers dare to challenge traditional education and are eager to explore new ways of teaching and learning
● Able: NPDL can empower teachers in a new narrative for finding pedagogical meaning through sound approaches and well aligned tools
These three years of NPDL show that teachers are
Ready, Willing and Able
