Abstract

Traditional ways of organising and delivering school education are sometimes failing students at both ends of the achievement spectrum. We need to think to think differently about the nature of learning; the characteristics of learners; the school curriculum; what it means to ‘teach’; the role of assessment; and the nature of ‘reporting’ – in short, to think differently about schooling itself.
