The successful implementation of the project will depend on the active participation of countries/regions, institutions and foundations concerned with improving today’s schools as well as that of researchers, innovators and practitioners. Each of these stakeholders is encouraged to enrich the work of the project by sharing their own perspective.
There will be two different kinds of networks for the participating stakeholders. An “Expert Group” will be created to guide the implementation of the project. This group, which will be composed of the various stakeholders, will be especially concerned with developing the knowledge base and steering the case study work. The second Network of Participants will be much larger and will include all of the different stakeholders. This network will get together several times throughout the project in conferences to discuss the outcomes of the different phases of the project.
More specifically, the different groups of stakeholders are invited to play a specific role in the project:
… as a country/region
The active involvement of as many countries/regions as possible from the outset is essential for our project. All countries are invited to participate in the project while the implementation of the work will be facilitated by certain countries who will take a lead role.
The participation of all countries may include proposing potential cases; the identifying researchers, innovaters and practitioners who might play a wider role in the project; supporting at least one case study in that country; and participating in different meetings, seminars and conferences – in particular, those exploring the policy implications and lessons drawn from both the analytical and the field work.
Those countries that would like to play a lead role, will host certain events, such as advisory group meetings or conferences, and contribute to the international overhead costs of the project, both at OECD/CERI and with the international experts involved.
… as an institution or foundation
Institutions and foundations sharing our belief that today’s education system is not prepared for a knowledge society, and pursuing the same goal of transforming today’s schools into communities of thinking and learning, are invited to become part of our network on innovative learning environments. We welcome them to share their expertise with us and to support the project.
… as an individual expert
Are you a researcher occupied with the analysis of teaching and learning? Are you an innovator who promotes new and exciting learning environments for the 21st century? Are you a practitioner organising your classroom, school or learning centre differently from “traditional” practice? Then our project might be of interest for you and you might be of interest to us! There are several ways to participate in the project. Researchers can share their expert knowledge through participating in meetings or providing an expert paper for the project’s research synthesis on learning principles. The expertise of innovators and practitioners is very welcome as part of our larger network on learning environments. Providing interesting cases and initiatives from the field is another way of getting actively involved.
