Despite decades of reform, we have not fundamentally transformed the system of schooling or the nature and quality of children's learning and thinking. By focusing on reforming the contents of schooling, and not transforming the context and conditions of learning, we have created false proxies for learning and eroded the potentially vibrant intellectual life of children, schools, and communities. The presenter will draw on her book, The Power to Transform: Leadership That Brings Learning and Schooling to Life, to offer a new "story" and a map for creating vibrant learning landscapes and communities that have their roots in meaning, not memory; engagement, not transmission; inquiry, not compliance; exploration, not acquisition; personalization, not uniformity; interdependence, not individualism; collaboration, not competition; and trust, not fear. It is from this new story that learning and schooling can be brought to life.
