Curation in Education: Great Examples

by Robin Good

"The central point of education is to teach people to think, to use their rational powers, to become better problem solvers" (Gagne, 1980, in Jonassen, 2000)

"Inquiry cannot take place without stable settings, but stable settings will not result in joint productive activity without carefully arranged job-alike teams, a distributed leadership model that provides ongoing support and pressure, and well-articulated protocols for conducting the study of teaching and learning." (Ermeling, 2010)

What steps can you take to create an environment where educators engage in a cycle of collaborative inquiry?

Self-Efficacy

Motivation - balanced extrinsic & intrinsic

Good principals and assistant principals are central to the success of this work but they cannot do it alone. Organizing a campus into teams, identifying and training teacher-leaders, and working to support these leaders through a careful balance of support and pressure, helps make possible the otherwise daunting task of sustaining a long-term teacher inquiry effort (Goldenberg, 2004; Saunders & Goldenberg, 2005, in Emerling, 2010).
