This ground-breaking keynote is based on Fullan’s work in eight countries and his latest book “Deep learning: Engage the World, Change the World”. Dr. Fullan will help us understand the pandemic/post-pandemic context as a framework for transforming learning. It will focus on global competencies that we call the 6Cs: character, citizenship, collaboration, communication, creativity and critical thinking. These in turn will be linked to transformations in teaching and learning consisting of four pillars of learning: engaging pedagogies, learning partnerships, learning environments, and leveraging digital. School and system conditions (school, regiton and state) for achieving the transformation will be examined.

This session is for all leaders and practitioners at all levels of the system: principals, district and network leaders, and system leaders, leader practitioners, teachers.

Resource: Fullan, Quinn, and McEachen, Deep learning; Engage the world Change the world. (Corwin, 2018)

This 1-hour keynote is one of the four presentations (2 keynotes and 2 masterclasses) conducted by Dr. Michael Fullan. Each presentation is distinct and is intended as stand-alone units. There is slight overlap, but only to reinforce clarity and depth. This set of 4 presentations will provide a comprehensive, and reinforcing experiences concerning: the nature and purpose of educational change; the elements of change at each of three levels: local, middle (district/region/policy); insights into the processes of effective change; assessing the impact of change; and above all a focus on the leadership, especially how to lead change to obtain quality results and impact.
