Today… 1. Analyze a policy document. A Global Compact for learning. 2. Review the Eightfold Path 3. Discuss the role of transfer in innovation 4. Examine the role of modeling for transfer

A Global Compact for Learning Core argument What is the problem? What are the solutions?

Bardach’s Eightfold Path What if we had to develop the global compact, and decided to follow the Eightfold path. What would that process look like? What would we do? How is that different from the process followed to produce the ‘Global Compact?’

The Eightfold Path Define the Problem Assemble some Evidence Construct the Alternatives Select the Criteria Project the Outcomes Confront the Tradeoffs Decide Tell your Story

Transfer and Innovation What is the argument? What is contextualized transfer? Where does it fit in the Eightfold Path?

In small groups, identify a particular country. You are a task force tasked with designing a country approach to implementing the ‘Global Compact’. Model the factors that influence the outcome you wish to change? How would you use contextualized transfer to stimulate educational innovation in any of the areas mentioned in the report?
