Developing people with the right skills and attributes – entrepreneurship, creative, tenacious, passionate, in pursuit of new ideas. Individuals selected and combined into effective teams – collaborations, diversity, pursuit of deeper understanding of impact, respect for others Organisations structured to be cross-functional with fluid organisation roles – Enough order and structure to drive action but enough ambiguity to keep uninhibited by the past. A culture open to new ideas, welcoming diversity so as to incubate and follow success

Autonomy leads to greater division between the best & the poorest. Greatest barrier to improvement is the spread of schools The variance is greater within than between schools The closed nature of sharing and collaboration is among the greatest damnations of the autonomy agenda The centre is scared of taking excellent agendas that have worked in many schools and rolling them out wider Up scaling is the least understood concept in our business.

Ask not how do we best reproduce to meet the needs of schools but how we work together to transform learning School 1: Current schools have a grammar of learning dominated by teacher recitation just given ‘em the facts ma’am selection to the power roles in society, based on narrow NAPLANPISA type measures, privileging those who want control over their schooling in the name of autonomy.

Ask not how do we best reproduce to meet the needs of schools but how we work together to transform learning School 2: Diagnose, Intervene, Evaluate Aspire: What is the student ready to learn and what is the evidence for this? Anticipate: What is the expected impact and how will you check? Analyse: What are the possible evidence-based interventions and what is the implementation process for each? Apply: What evidence will be sought to modify the application Appraise: What happened & what resultant decisions were made?
