The issue of change in education right now revolves around two models that intersect, and not well. The model of education, with its ideological inheritance, market focus, is also top down, bureaucratic and reflects a command and control style of management. Therefore it /1
cannot be a learning organization. This means it does not, in either paradigm, centre voices of those most concerned and affected, is not part of a continuous feedback loop, does not engage in continuous improvement and eschews innovation, creativity and change./2
As is often said “if you always do what you always did, you will get what you always got.” A restoratively focused institution (Generation 2.0) which centres voices, supports difficult conversations, can listen, witness and learn, is willing to learn, change and grow, engages /3
with all (parents, families, community) , shares power, works with and can both repair the past, repair the future and transform (Kintsugi) structures, policies and practices. The “house of quality” (Kaizen) is built around the needs of students. Form follows function.
