The document discusses emerging models of social learning and schooling in the 21st century. It proposes moving away from traditional age-based cohorts and teacher-led instruction toward demand-led, individually produced and co-produced learning. Learners would be personally motivated and skills would be assessed through emotional intelligence and applied knowledge rather than just recall. Networks and communities of practice are suggested as a way to engage learners and help a majority progress through changing existing conditions.

5. Next Practice Model Create Communities of Practice The answer to large scale reform is not to try to emulate characteristics of the minority who are getting somewhere under present conditions... Rather change existing conditions so that it is normal and possible for a majority of people to move forward (Michael Fullan 2001) [email_address] [email_address]
