Transformational change is more likely to occur, more likely to be effective and more
likely to be scalable when it is done collaboratively, in ‘communities of practice’ that bring
together educators in a structured, supported and facilitated environment where they
can:
• share research and knowledge
• work together to use disciplined innovative methods
• draw on the expertise of relevant partners
• learn from each other about overcoming obstacles and barriers

o National and International Assessments
• Assessment will be revised to align with changing emphases:
o Literacy and numeracy foundations
o Core competencies
o Learning standards/key concepts/big ideas
o Flexible curriculum, supporting interdisciplinary, inquiry-based, and problem/project-based approaches
