The big world of learning
• Rigor, focus and coherence
• Remain true to the disciplines– but aim at interdisciplinary learning and the capacity of students to see
problems through multiple lenses
– Balance knowledge of disciplines and knowledge about disciplines
• Focus on areas with the highest transfer value– Requiring a theory of action for how this transfer value occurs
• Authenticity– Thematic, problem-based, project-based, co-creation in conversation
• Some things are caught not taught– Immersive learning propositions
• Equity– Not just a proposition for the few but for the many
•16 Some lessons from high performers

Ownership of professional practice
Powerful learning environments are constantly creating synergies and finding new ways to enhance professional, social and cultural capital with
others. They do that with families and communities, with higher education, with other schools and learning environments, and with businesses.

51 Professionalism
Professionalism is the level of autonomy and internal regulation exercised by members of an
occupation in providing services to society
The past was divided
Teachers and content divided by subjects and student destinations
Schools designed to keep students inside, and the rest of the world outside
The future is integratedIntegrated: Emphasising integration of subjects, integration of
students and integration of learning contexts
Connected: with real-world contexts, and permeable to the rich resources in the community
Less subject-based, more project-based
ConformityStandardisation and compliance lead students to be
educated in batches of age, following the same standard curriculum, all assessed at the same time.
Ingenious
Building instruction from student passions and capacities, helping students personalise their learning and
assessment in ways that foster engagement and talents.
Learning a placeSchools as technological islands, that is technology was deployed
mostly to support existing practices for efficiency gains
Learning an activityTechnologies liberating learning from past conventions and connect
learners in new and powerful ways. The past was interactive, the future is participative
