Increasingly Powerful Drivers School education is one of the most important and contested policy areas for governments across the world. Evidence of relative performance internationally has become a key driver of policy. Human capital in the form of a highly educated population is seen as a key determinant of social justice and economic success. The pace and character of social, economic and technological change has profound implications for how we conceive education in the future. TEACHING SCOTLAND’S FUTURE

The Challenge Developing a vision and a strategy to address ‘wicked issues’ and to engage positively with a very uncertain future AND Taking action to make this happen TEACHING SCOTLAND’S FUTURE

Successful Learners in the 21 st Century Persistent, resilient, able to manage impulse Can change, adapt, transfer skills Deep knowledge Skills to access information, as well as retain it Have learned how to learn Strong interpersonal/ intrapersonal skills Responsible, global citizens Strong core skills TEACHING SCOTLAND’S FUTURE

Search for Success Early focus on expansion of provision 1957 Sputnik - Alphabet soup curriculum reform Standards movement - measurement mania School effectiveness Professional conspiracies – competition & inspection Teachers Matter - “It’s the teacher, stupid” A new synthesis? TEACHING SCOTLAND’S FUTURE

States and individuals need high levels of education for future economic, social and personal wellbeing Innovation is integral to educational quality - create the future not recreate the past Models of governance and change need to be dynamic and promote alignment ↓ RETHINK APPROACH TO AND RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TEACHING / LEADERSHIP / CURRICULUM / INSPECTION TEACHING SCOTLAND’S FUTURE

Lessons from High-Performing Systems Clarity of purpose – values and curriculum High expectations of achievement Enabling all young people to achieve their potential Emphasis on early learning High quality teachers Culture of professional learning High quality leadership at all levels Outward looking with a strong culture of innovation Intelligent accountability Reflective and self-evaluative TEACHING SCOTLAND’S FUTURE

How much do teachers matter? Overall, the research results indicate that raising teacher quality is vital for improving student achievement, and is perhaps the policy direction most likely to lead to substantial gains in school performance (OECD) Students of the most effective teachers have learning gains four times greater than the learning gains of the least effective teachers ( Sanders and Rivers 1996) The quality of an education system cannot exceed the quality of its teachers (McKinsey & Co 2007) TEACHING SCOTLAND’S FUTURE

We need teachers who - have high-levels of expertise – subject, pedagogy and theory have secure values – personal and professional accountability for the wellbeing of all young people take prime responsibility for their own development use and contribute to the collective understanding of successful teaching and learning see professional learning as an integral part of educational change engage in well-planned and well-researched innovation. TEACHING SCOTLAND’S FUTURE

How do we do it? Select and develop high quality people A continuum of teacher learning - framework of standards Alignment and partnership Professional review and development Coaching and mentoring Optimum use of ICT for professional learning. Masters-level study is the norm Relentless focus on impact on young people’s learning. TEACHING SCOTLAND’S FUTURE
