Leadership+ Letting Learning Flourish: Leading Curriculum Change in Scotland

In this webinar, Santiago Rincón-Gallardo will invite education leaders to step back from the mechanics of curriculum implementation and explore three fundamental questions: What is education for? What is learning? And what conditions enable powerful learning to flourish?

Drawing on Liberating Learning and Whole Learners, Whole Systems, Santiago will explore how some of the inherited structures and assumptions of schooling can unintentionally constrain learners’ curiosity, agency and capacity to act — and how leaders can begin creating the conditions for something different. Using the metaphor of “growing life through concrete” and the 4Ss of system transformation — Shared Vision, Steady Work, Symmetry and Systemness — participants will consider how Scotland’s new curriculum can become not simply a new framework to implement, but a catalyst for transforming the culture of learning in schools and systems.

The webinar will combine provocation, research, reflection and dialogue, inviting leaders to connect these ideas directly to the possibilities and challenges they are facing in their own contexts.
