April 24, 2013

Brad Mitchell, Senior Director, Leadership bmitchell@BattelleforKids.org

Learning Objectives •  Learn about Battelle for Kids’ Global Education

Study and the six drivers of student success we uncovered.

•  Discover and access School Improvement Network’s new LumiBook, an e-reading platform that facilitates collaboration in an online community centered around the Global Education Study.

Global Education Study, Spring 2012

•  About the Global Education Study –  Why did we go? –  Who went? –  Where did we go? –  Who did we meet? –  What did we observe? –  What did we learn?

Essential Question

How do the highest-performing school systems across the world achieve these results, year after year? (e.g., PISA, TIMSS, NAEP, PIRLS)

Finland, Hong Kong, Long Beach, Ontario, and Singapore

5 Teams of Ohio Education, Business, and Community Organizations…

•  Discovered why these school systems had more than five rises in student performance for more than five years (most had 10+ yrs.);

•  Observed 5 of the 12 highest-performing systems, schools, and classrooms in action; and

•  Interviewed leaders, teachers, students, and others to explore how these districts consistently rank at the top in terms of quality, equity, and productivity of all children.

Global Education Study Team Participants

•  American Public Charter Schools •  Battelle for Kids •  Buckeye Association of School Administrators •  Business (Columbus Partnership; Gallup) •  Foundations •  Higher Education (Inter-University and College of Education

Deans) •  Ohio Association of School Business Officials •  Ohio Federation of Teachers & Ohio Education Association •  Ohio School Boards Association •  The Ohio Grantmakers Forum

Our Approach

Before the trips 1.  Book study as a team. 2.  Conversations with students and others from each system.

During the trips 1.  Common questions for teachers, principals, administrators,

and students. 2.  Interviews with Ministers of education, business and

government partners, higher education, and unions. 3.  Observations of classrooms and schools.

Our Approach—After the Trips 1.  Global Education Study teams met to discuss

observations and identify common drivers of success.

2.  Shared findings with participating school systems. 3.  Leaders from school systems invited to present at

Global Education Summit about drivers most critical to their success. Attendees asked to record questions and comments.

A Collaborative Approach 1.  Global Education Study teams, leaders from the five school

systems, and others met during the Summit to synthesize findings for the monograph.

2.  BFK�Global Learning™ Collaborative comprised of leaders from the five school systems, Battelle for Kids, and others formed to continue conversations about strategies and opportunities to increase student success.

3.  Monograph, video, resources, and feedback from attendees turned into an online LumiBook (launched April 2013): http://www.schoolimprovement.com/battelle-for-kids-lumibook/

Finding the Sweet Spot

Design From A Different Mindset •  Talent and prosperity = endgame. •  Success is a journey, not a destination. •  Educators can and should be trusted with

whole system success. •  Less metric- and more meaning-centric.

Educational Success (USA) 1.  Performance ranking (e.g., NAEP)

2.  College/workforce readiness (e.g., ACT)

3.  Graduation rates

4.  Achievement gaps

Educational Success (Global) 1.  Justify instead of judge. 2.  Feed and spread empowerment experiences. 3.  Make learning visible. 4.  Relationships define results. 5.  Feedback amplifies learning. 6.  Focus on improvement goals and capacity

building. 7.  Character, critical thinking, and creativity are next.

Designing Success (Ontario)

•  Motivate teachers and students. •  Engage educators and students in

continuous improvement. •  Inspire collaborative action. •  Affect all teachers and students.*
