27. A new education narrative

28. Curriculum is redundant Learning is about relationships / meaning / community We can no longer fit technology into ‘business as usual’ Education requires distributive leadership We are all learners now

29. A new kind of learning... ...in which learners take more and more responsibility for their own learning as they get older...

30. A new kind of learning... ...in which teachers work with students in an open, collaborative way, with the teaching and learning that goes on the result of a continual process of negotiation...

31. A new kind of learning... ...in which teachers are freed to do what they do best - to teach, to work with young people to help them get the best out of their own efforts, to advise, to counsel, to cajole, to persuade, and, yes, to impart knowledge where required...

32. A new kind of learning... ...in which young people will be able to bring their passions firmly inside the bounds of their schooling (instead of having to defer their real interests to their lives outside of school, as is so often the case)

33. A new kind of learning... ...in which what has been peripheral becomes the core

34. A new kind of learning... ...a kind of learning in which curriculum content is no longer fixed by some central authority but is universally negotiable

35. A new kind of learning... ...in which teachers can accord learners the maximum respect by acknowledging that they are learners too

36. “In times of change learners inherit the earth; while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.”
