Overarching TheoryWhen a school systems learns,
continuous improvement enables educators to close
achievement gaps and ensures that all students grow and
develop as learners.

The Question
How do we increase educator capacity in
order to provide a more effective education for
all students in all schools?

Systems That Learn
The Big IdeaThe learning dynamics that a teacher establishes in his/her classroom is similar to the learning dynamics a principal/instructional leader establishes in his/her school, and is similar to what a superintendent does to promote learning within the district leadership team.

What Do I Want You to Feel? Autonomy-the desire to direct your
own life This does not mean condoning and
allowing people to do “whatever they want”
The “How” of the things we do-Supportive Limits
Mastery-the urge to get better and better at something that matters Your ability is not finite
Purpose-the yearning to do what we do as a service of something larger than ourselves

Systems That Learn
“School leaders and teachers need to create schools and classroom environments in which error is
welcomed as a learning opportunity, in which discarding incorrect knowledge and understanding is welcomed, and in which teachers feel safe to learn, re-learn, and explore knowledge and
understanding”J. Hattie

Leaders at ALL Levels
“It is no longer sufficient to have one person learning for the organization.
It’s just not possible any longer to figure it out from the top. The
organizations that will truly excel in the future will be the organizations that discover how to tap people’s
commitment and capacity to learn at all levels of the organization”
Peter Senge

Why is CHANGE so Hard?
“There is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor
more dangerous to manage than the creation of a new order of things…Whenever his enemies have the
ability to attack the innovator they do so with the passion of partisans,
while the others defend him sluggishly, so that the innovator and
his party alike are vulnerable”Niccolo
Machiavelli
