Eric Hoffer
In times of change, the learners shall inherit the earth while the learned will remain beautifully equipped for a world that no longer exists

David Cameron
And the learners who can identify opportunity and manage risk, who can innovate and create, will shape that inheritance and define the future

Adding value is not enough for some of our young people, we need to challenge their destinies. We are not editing life stories, we are creating new narratives

What do learners need?
The capacity to think, learn and adapt
The ability to innovate and create
The skills to access knowledge including the skill of questioning
The commitment to sustained enquiry or task
The specific skills required by disciplines or vocational choices
![Page 8: Leadership for Learning In a time of change, challenge and opportunity David Cameron.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c925503460f9494d222/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What sort of learning?
It has to be active
It has to involve the quest for meaning
It has to be varied
It needs motivation
It should respect disciplines but not be dominated by them
It must be assessed in terms of breadth, depth and application
![Page 9: Leadership for Learning In a time of change, challenge and opportunity David Cameron.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c925503460f9494d222/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What makes learning successful?
''My father would cry reading Dickens to us as kids. These are the passages I remember.'’ Malcolm Gladwell
''One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers - but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material - but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.'’ Carl Jung

"There can be no educational development without teacher development;....the best means of development is not by clarifying ends but by analysing practice.”
Lawrence Stenhouse
"The greatest problem in teaching is not how to get rid of the 'deadwood', but how to create, sustain and motivate good teachers throughout their careers.”
Fullan and Hargreaves 1992
![Page 13: Leadership for Learning In a time of change, challenge and opportunity David Cameron.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c925503460f9494d222/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
"People learn what they need to learn, not what someone else thinks they need to learn.” Fullan (1994)
"In the end, it is the teacher in his or her classroom who has to interpret and bring about improvement.” Fullan and Hargreaves
"You cannot have students as continuous learners and effective collaborators, without teachers having these same characteristics.” Sarason (1990)

In short, it is the task of all educationalists outside the classroom to serve the teacher.. For only they are in a position to deliver effective learning
Adapted from Lawrence Stenhouse

Key principles
Where change is imposed or driven by others, we play at it, defuse it and subvert it
It affects interviews far more than practice
It makes no difference to pupil achievement
You work best when you are enthusiastic about what you are teaching
![Page 16: Leadership for Learning In a time of change, challenge and opportunity David Cameron.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c925503460f9494d222/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
More Principles
Change should only be driven by self-evaluation, provided that self-evaluation is realistic and takes account of economic and social changes
If all learners were experiencing the best practice in our schools, we would not be talking about system change
Any change has to be rooted in current practice
![Page 17: Leadership for Learning In a time of change, challenge and opportunity David Cameron.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c925503460f9494d222/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
And……………
Focus on learning
Support and challenge learners
Whatever you do, do it right, consistently and persistently
Improvement comes through systems, priority for practice and looking at the needs of individual learners
![Page 18: Leadership for Learning In a time of change, challenge and opportunity David Cameron.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c925503460f9494d222/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

What do we need from leaders?

![Page 20: Leadership for Learning In a time of change, challenge and opportunity David Cameron.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c925503460f9494d222/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What do leaders need?
Clarity
Commitment
Courage
Collegiality
![Page 21: Leadership for Learning In a time of change, challenge and opportunity David Cameron.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c925503460f9494d222/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Clarity of Purpose
Purpose is not simply a target that an organisation chooses to aim for - it is an organisation’s reason for being. It needs to express what the organisation wants to accomplish in providing value to its stakeholders - and describe how these accomplishments can be measured.
![Page 22: Leadership for Learning In a time of change, challenge and opportunity David Cameron.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c925503460f9494d222/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Aims and ambitions
Schools must make it very clear what they stand for and must have a clear vision of what they are trying to achieve. The vision will always be there for them as a goal and will support and encourage when things go wrong or are difficult. Knowing what you want to achieve is crucial. Without that, there will be no progress
![Page 23: Leadership for Learning In a time of change, challenge and opportunity David Cameron.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c925503460f9494d222/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
A real vision
..we believe that people are important, the children placed in our care, the adults who spend their working lives in the school, the parents and members of the wider community.
We believe that education is about every aspect of human personality and achievement. This view requires that teachers give generously of their ideas and the community to welcome those ideas
![Page 24: Leadership for Learning In a time of change, challenge and opportunity David Cameron.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c925503460f9494d222/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What we teach must work for all the children and tap all their potential talents, not just some of them.
The curriculum that we offer must be broad, balanced and progressive. It must reach out and touch all children in a way that makes sense to each individual child. It must motivate each child, involve each child, inspire and enlighten each child. It must be a curriculum that recognises that there are many kinds of knowing, feeling and expressing truth.
![Page 25: Leadership for Learning In a time of change, challenge and opportunity David Cameron.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c925503460f9494d222/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
So……………?
We need to create a culture where we all believe we can make a difference and have a common view about what that difference is
We need to create the conditions where we can make that difference
We need to listen, to learn and to act
We need to build on the work done
![Page 26: Leadership for Learning In a time of change, challenge and opportunity David Cameron.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c925503460f9494d222/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
In this context….
Leadership has to be collegiate
It concerns leading people not managing institutions
It has to be founded on belief, knowledge and understanding
It requires skill
It needs purpose
It has to be informed by evidence
It must be judged by outcomes
![Page 27: Leadership for Learning In a time of change, challenge and opportunity David Cameron.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c925503460f9494d222/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
But let’s think……
Targets need to reflect ambitions and not just requirements
We need to get beyond set standards and qualifications
There are many ways of assembling the vital elements
We need to think about learning AND leadership
![Page 28: Leadership for Learning In a time of change, challenge and opportunity David Cameron.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c925503460f9494d222/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Leadership lessons
Consistency
Persistence
Generosity
Getting beyond self
Getting the best people and enabling them to be the best -create the team
![Page 29: Leadership for Learning In a time of change, challenge and opportunity David Cameron.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c925503460f9494d222/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
…. And more
See things clearly – tell them simply
Keep the focus
Get rid of the clutter
Everything fit for purpose
Leadership and management = 2 wings/1 bird
Leadership without legacy = pan+ flash
![Page 30: Leadership for Learning In a time of change, challenge and opportunity David Cameron.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c925503460f9494d222/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The Lacuna
Their white dresses swirled like froth, with skirts so wide they could take the hems in their fingertips and raise them up to make sudden wings, like butterflies, fluttering as they turned…..
“Indian girls,” she spat……”A corn eater will never be more than she is”
![Page 31: Leadership for Learning In a time of change, challenge and opportunity David Cameron.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649c925503460f9494d222/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The dancers were butterflies. From a hundred paces Salome could see the dirt under their fingernails, but not their wings
