‘BEST’ Vision
Objective Suggested Approach
Establishing the framework for innovation.
Presentation to outline the methodology that will be used in the workshop for innovation and envisioning
Develop 3 clear long term vision statements in each themed area. These will be called the ‘BEST’ vision
Small group discussions in which delegates share their aspirations for the future of education in each of the main “Connected Education Framework” themes: Learning, Teaching, Connected Learning Community, Managing the Institution.
Discuss and agree the ‘BEST vision statements.
Individuals prioritise statements and whole group agree final version
Workshop 1 overview
• Decide where you want to go– Examples: T-route, P-route, any route?
• Which vehicle suits the route best?– Don’t put a race car on a rocky road. Don’t use ICT if the conditions are
not yet ready. Build your road first!
• Keep checking you are travelling in the right direction– Lots of small movements forward are better than one step backwards.

Some school processes or practice may fall anywhere on the
spectrum; however, from operational efficiency
perspective, a school pursues one route or the other
P1 and T1 describe model schools with a standard of ICT equipment matching the PfS output specification

P2 and T2 describe ‘moving targets’ at the end of the the longer-term vision. Schools will be using more advanced ICT.

Pulling in the same direction
• Part 1 – on post-it notes write activities that currently take place or which you are aware of. E.g. “Students being given the opportunity to teach a lesson to their peers”.
• Part 2 – in your groups arrange these notes in order from ‘T-route’ to ‘P-route’ so that the activity most aligned to T-route practice appears at the far left.
• Part 3 – In what ways could practice in the school be moved towards the P-route without having a negative effect on standards or teacher quality?
Activity – understanding T/P routes

Establishing the roadmap
1. Decide which of the four categories you would like to work on.
2. Imagine it is the year 2030 and you are giving an international presentation about the most outstanding practice in your country
3. What would this success look like?
4. You can base it on the outcomes shown here or create your own.
5. Add your ideas to post-its and stick on the flip charts provided.

Admin and management
• You have been provided with three stickers. Read all of the imaginary future case studies your colleagues have written.
• If only three of these future case studies were going to happen, which three do YOU think should?
• Vote on your three by placing your stickers next to them
Priorities emerging from the task

Learner experience
Competencies and Quality. In 2030 the main focus of learning is the development of competencies including, problem solving, reflective learning, socialization, team working, cooperation, critical thinking and autonomy. Learners work in ways that practice and develop these competencies. For example they raise question, share knowledge, set problems and develop resources. Assessment provides quality feedback for the learner
Lifelong Learning. In 2030 learning will be a continual lifelong process which involves universities, libraries, schools, homes and companies. Knowledge is thoughtfully shared, collaborated on and exchanged throughout such learning communities.
Belonging.. Learners are fully engaged with their community as active and happy social citizens. They work collaboratively to develop knowledge with peers parents and teachers as partners in communities.
Teacher experience
Teacher as researcher. In 2030 teachers are continually engaged in action research and reflection as part of their professional development. As a role model they actively promoting a research culture among learners involving them and using their feedback to improve.
Teacher as a pedagogue. In 2030 teachers will understand how conceptual understanding happens as well as how they themselves learn. They will be able to help children understand concepts by giving them the tools so that they can become progressively autonomous
Teacher as a person. In 2030 teachers will continually develop skills that cut across all subjects as well as personal attributes and attitudes which allow them to take the ethical responsibility of the role.
Connected Learning Community
Learner at the centre. Education is a partnership between parents, learner, teachers and others. Learners are supported in their pursuit of goals which are primarily based on the development of social and human capacities and their interaction with others rather than knowledge.
Inclusive universal access. From early years to adult learning there is inclusive universal access for all. Diversity will be encouraged so equal access does not mean imposed systems or technology.
Community cohesion. The community will be actively engaged in the development of education. through the transparency of the system and the democratization of the processes. This will promote peace, understanding, ownership and cohesion.
Admin and management
Quality feedback at all levels. In 2030 feedback at every level gives accurate analysis and evaluation allowing policy decisions, value for money calculation, teacher action research evaluation and parental involvement.
Constant evolution. Our educational system is focused on the integral development of children, young people and citizens and constantly evolves and improves to remain sustainable.
Flexibility to strengthen diversity. Systems will empower people in their roles without restricting innovation. The aim is to seamlessly support every person (actors) in their role.
An example vision document
• It is impossible to imagine what technologies may be available in the future but many of the technologies needed to fulfil your vision may already exist.
• For each of the vision statements imagine what kinds of resources and technologies would make these easier to implement.
Enablers
• Copy all of your vision statements into one block of text and paste it into www.wordle.net
• This will provide you with an analysis of the emphasis of your vision position.
• Discuss if you are happy as a group with the emphasis of your final vision.
