Learning is the Work
“Educational change depends on what teachers do and think—it is as simple and complex as that”
Fullan
Learning is the Work
The best way to improve a school or district is by
developing the people within it
Learning is the Work
South Dakota public school districts that are the most innovative and those that
have the ability to sustain school reform and organizational change have
greater professional development capacity.
Learning is the Work
Most organizations already have all the knowledge they need to improve, they simply do not implement what they already
know
Learning is the Work
“Why does knowledge of what needs to be done so frequently
fail to result in action or behavior that is consistent with that
knowledge?”Pfeffer & Sutton
Learning is the Work
The answer to the knowing and doing problem is deceptively simple: embed more of the process of acquiring new knowledge in the actual doing of the
task and less in the formal training. If you do it then you know it.
Learning is the Work
Learn by doing and you build community by doing the
work together
