Charlie Leadbeater is a leading authority on innovation and strategy, and he will discuss the role of innovation in education, exploring not only how the web can break down barriers but also how the benefits it promises can be nurtured and sustained
We-think, his latest book, charts the rise of mass, participative approaches to innovation. It is one of several acclaimed books; Living on Thin Air, a guide to living and working in the new economy; Up the Down Escalator, an attack on the culture of public pessimism accompanying globalisation and In Search of Work which was one of the first books to predict the rise of more flexible and networked forms of employment. He has also written extensively and influentially on the case for more personalised, participative approaches to education, most recently a report entitled What’s Next? 21 Ideas for 21st Century Education.

Learning with and by not to and from
Personalised learning = learning with and by:
Place,Timing, Pace, Space
Big schools that feel smallSoftware leads hardware
Multiple forms of assessment Teachers as coaches
Pupils as protagonists Problem/question oriented learning
Collaborative and real worldSelf-reflective, motivated learning
Information literate, able communicators
But…
There are lots of obstacles and traps on the journey from improve to
reform
But…
Need to encourage reform from within but also a wave of new kinds
of school created by social entrepreneurs
Should we make it much easier for new kinds of schools to be created?
But…
Even that may not get all you need
