| Title |
Leading a Learning-Focused School |
| Programme |
School Leaders' Retreat |
| Days Offered |
October 15th and 16th (Repeated) |
| Description |
Leading a school is a complex business. In that complexity, the core business of learning can get lost. This workshop aims to bring simplicity and common-sense to bear on creating a coherent approach to leading a school, which begins with defining learning, and then organizes all school systems around that definition. The workshop is designed as an active conversation among practitioners, conducted in a spirit of honesty and good humour, and provides participants not only with ideas on the theories of learning and leadership, but also with a whole set of practical tools, from job descriptions to protocols and templates to help make learning happen. There are some good African bird photos too! |

| Title |
Mapping the Common Ground |
| Programme |
Educators' Conference |
| Day Offered |
October 17th, 2011 |
| Description |
Despite years of ‘international education’ there currently exists no continuous, coherent, international curriculum that is clear, simple, accessible. This workshop provides information on a project that addresses this gap. The Common Ground Curriculum begins with a definition of learning and then translates this into a framework that maps the ‘what, how, and whether’ of learning, providing students, and teachers, with practical toolkits for success. It is the work of a growing group of schools, The Common Ground Collaborative, that is, in itself an innovation: a global network of practitioners talking to practitioners, developing core learning of high quality, but leaving much decision-making where it belongs, with the school itself. |
