The great educational transformations taking place around the world.
“It’s not just the world that’s changing education now. An orchestrated shake-up of every aspect of education is starting to change the world” (Hargraves & Shirley, 2012, p. 1).
The readings for this week lay the groundwork for the need for changes in education. These include the need for innovation, outcome and effect on students, as well as the underlying principles of change. As you can see from the readings, a key aspect of coming to know and address the need for change in the education system is deliberately designing your own path focused on educational excellence.
In a four- to five-page essay reflect on the following:
