Keynote Address

Leading learning organizaon to excellenceProf. Wessel Ganzevoort, Amsterdam, the NetherlandsFirst of all we have to understand what an organizaon is, what is the hidden paradigm. We oen talk in post modernwords and keep thinking in modern terms. What is a workable metaphor? Organizaons as living and learning organisms.

Organizaon developing from hand to brains to hearts and souls. Professionals are more than brains. The starng pointof all leadership and organizaon development is the essence or the soul. How can we develop our essence? Creaon orreacon. What is eecve leadership in a learning organizaon and how can we transform our organizaon into a high

performing organizaon (HPO)? What are the precondions in which people can let their qualies unfold? The role oftrust. And how this contributes to a sustainable world?

Keynote Address

Flying in space, for the benet of EarthProf. Christer Fuglesang, ESAOrbing around Earth, 350 km up in space, and looking down on our beauful world, one cannot avoid thinking abouthow fragile it seems in some respects. The atmosphere, in parcular, looks very thin. In a space staon we have torecycle and reuse as much as possible and sustainability is a prerequisite. In some sense Earth is just a very large spacevehicle and many interesng and thoughul analogies can be made. Humankind might have learnt more about Earthand our place in the universe from observaons in space than from any other source of data. Another aspect of spaceights is the teamwork and preparaons necessary for successful space missions. For example, on ISS we were 13 peoplefrom 5 countries and we worked together without the slightest fricon solving many problems. You dont see bordersbetween countries from space and you wish all people on Earth could do the same.

PARALLEL SESSIONS

FRIDAY 28 JANUARY

at 10.30 11.30

A1 'I think I can make a dierence!'Presenter:Jacinta McCarthy, Scoil na Croise Naofa,Cork, IrelandWorkshop. Target audience: General

Teachers have the potenal to become change

agents in their schools through their involve-

ment in professional learning communies. This

work-shop briey presents one case study where

teachers in one school became leaders of change

and innovaon as a result of their own profes-

sional development. They changed not only their

own work pracces but the pracces of collea-

gues in their school, as those colleagues in turn

began to value the posive eects of dierent

work pracces on student learning. Parcipants

of this work-shop will engage in acvies that

will encourage them to examine their own work

pracces, quesoning the need for change and

exploring the possibility of taking steps to make

those changes in their schools.

A2 The 9 universal criteria of talent (andhow to deal with it)Presenters:Drs. Anton de Vries and Roy Meulman, Ins-

tuut Service Management, Stenden Univer-sity, Leeuwarden, the NetherlandsWorkshop. Target audience: General

Who are the most top talented people, how can

we recognize them? Are there mutual charac-

teriscs and what makes them dierent from

normally talented people? What can we learn

from highly talented athletes, trainers and sports

coaches? What does this mean in running your

school and managing teachers, what does this

mean when your teaching the children?

In this workshop you will be given informaon

about the 9 universal criteria of talent, such as:

reducing complexity, authencity+ creavity,

passion, proacve problem solving etc. We will

also start a dialogue about what this means to

your personal leadership as an educaonal lead-

er or a teacher.

A3 Learning by designPresenter:Steve Hall, Summit Educaon, Staord,England UKLecture. Target audience: General

Learning by Design is a concept that brings to-

gether current thinking about learning, leader-

ship and curriculum development and appliesdesign processes so that learning can be made

more relevant, accessible and contextualised.

Through looking at the design of learning spaces,

the design of learning acvies and the design of

leadership structures which support and facilita-

te learning and by doing this in collaboraon with

the learners themselves we can arrive at muchmore meaningful academic and vocaonal lear-

ning experiences. By considering the processes

by which learning can be 'designed' rather than

merely 'delivered' we can beer address the im-

portant issues for 21st century learners such as

educaon for sustainable development and the

(re)building of social and cultural capital.

A4 SEMINARThe midway point of the UN Decade ofEducaon for Sustainable DevelopmentIntroducon:Prof. Charles Hopkins, York University, Toron-to, CanadaSeminar. Target audience: General

The UN Decade of Educaon for Sustainable De-

velopment has reached the midway point. At the

midpoint review held in Bonn, ministers of edu-

caon and other senior formal educaon ocials

from around the world met to capture what had

been accomplish, what had been learned to date

and what remained to be accomplished in the

remaining half Decade. Much of this discussion

regarding the way forward for formal educaon

was captured in the Bonn Declaraon. This Decla-

raon is a road map draed by 30 senior ocials

represenng the 6 UN regions worldwide.

Charles Hopkins chaired the draing commiee

and will share insight and discuss the key recom-

mendaons as they apply to teachers, schools

and school systems.

at 11.45 12.45

B1 Business and morality; Challenges forESD in teacher educaonPresenter:Dr. Marn Fitzgerald, Tipperary Instute,IrelandWorkshop. Target audience: Secondary and upper

secondary; higher educaon

This is the second part of an Acon Research

project that began in 2009 looking into the chal-

lenges facing student teachers who are training

to be teachers of Business and Religious studies.

On this occasion student teachers in their nal

year were asked to teach specic classes on ESD

while out on Teaching Pracce in both Business

and Religion. This session will look at the ndings

from this research, the student expereince and

the learning to be gained in relaon to ESD and

teacher Educaon at second level.

B2 Hunger for meaning - Guiding a philo-sophical dialoguePresenter:Maria Luisa Abreu, Associao de Profes-sores de Sintra (APS), Sintra, PortugalWorkshop. Target audience: General

Just like us, adults, our students need to un-

derstand their experiences and take the right

decisions in the world they live. As teachers,

its our job to facilitate the discussions within

the classroom community, smulang them to

reason logically and more meaningfully, helping

them become more thoughul, more reecve

and more reasonable, improving their capacity

of judgment.

This session will be a model of a philosophical di-

alogue, where parcipants are invited to parci-

pate in a real democrac community of inquiry,

praccing the methodology of the Philosophy for

Children program, which improves cric and cre-

ave thinking, a methodology useful for all ages.

B3 Welcoming them back to schoolPresenter: Karin Waldemarsson, VIVAKomvux, Ume, Sweden

Workshop. Target audience: Upper secondary;Adult educaon; Higher educaon

In 2008 14,9% young people in Europe le school

with at most lower secondary school. An upper

secondary school educaon is generally consi-

dered as a minimum for taking part in a know-

ledge based society either for entering the labour

market or further/higher educaon. So the early

school leavers need to come back to educaon as

adults to complete upper secondary school edu-

caon. Researches point to a posive relaonship

between educaon level and a reduced risk for

unemployment and more training opportunies.

How can early school leavers be movated and

B6 Decits with implemenng ESD: Resultsof an internaonal survey on UNESCO's ac-on goals and approaches to these issuesPresenter:Dieter Gross, Sustainable Future Instruc-ons (SFI); VDSG e.V: spokesman for ESD,Berlin, GermanyLecture. Target group: General; Secondary/Upper

secondary school; Higher educaon

There are sll obstacles and barriers in imple-

menng ESD. This was the reason why UNESCO

and the parcipants of the World Conference

(2009) have adopted Acon Goals for the 2nd

Half of the Decade. However these goals lacka priorized ranking which causes that there

is no targeted strategy. Which goals have a top

priority and which are dependent on substan-

al support? An internaonal survey within a

German-Japanese Cooperaon Project on DESD

has exhibited the drivers and barriers. This may

open the opportunity to readjust the focus and

support UNESCOs and the stakeholders eorts

in implemenng ESD ll the end of the Decade

and beyond.

KEYNOTE SPEECH

Flying in space, for the benet on Earth

Astronaut and Prof. Christer FuglesangOrbing around Earth, 350 km up in space, andlooking down on our beauful world, one cannot

avoid thinking about how fragile it seems in some

respects. The atmosphere, in parcular, looks

very thin. In a space staon we have to recycle

and reuse as much as possible and sustainabi-

lity is a prerequisite. In some sense Earth is just

a very large space vehicle and many interesng

and thoughul analogies can be made. Human-

kind might have learnt more about Earth and our

place in the universe from observaons in space

than from any other source of data. Another as-

pect of space ights is the teamwork and prepa-

raons necessary for successful space missions.These would certainly also be good to apply more

on Earth. For example, on ISS we were 13 people

from 5 countries and we worked together wit-

hout the slightest fricon solving many problems.

You dont see borders between countries from

space and you wish all people on Earth could do

the same.

people with the best possible condions for a

good start to a successful and fullling profes-

sional career. Therefore, we need a high quality

educaonal system and a connuous training of

the instuonal leaders of the system. In the area

of School & Business, we train management skills

of future and actual headmasters. Professional

qualicaon, consultaon with CEOs and coach-

140 employees and 750 children and their pa-

rents. Leading this kind of kindergarten is a big

challenge for the principal and her team. On theconference we will present our kind of leadership

on dierent levels of the kindergarten. Our best

pracce is posive networking between employ-

ees, parents, grandparents and others involved

into the kindergarten. With this kind of leader-

ship we increase our quality in all sectors. We

kindergarten smulang to our children and with

our work and enviroment we are giving our child-

ren new opportunies to develop.

D3 Release the teachers - Leading through

high performance teamsPresenters:Bjarne Schuricht and Anne Buhl Jrgensen,Egebjergskolen, Horsens, DenmarkWorkshop. Target audience: General

In a hyper complex society with more and more

diagnosed children included in the classroom,

the limits of normal teaching are extended to a

degree never seen before. Our teachers are met

with demands of larger specialising as regards to

professionalism, teaching and exibility to other

pupils/students and their parents, while naviga-

ng in a public debate oen very crical as to

the idea of inclusion. Through examples, theories

and statements we would like to show how wehave succeeded in generang new energy to the

teachers and through coaching and mentoring

have gained a high performing team and thereby

opmized the eort in this parcular area in the

school. The method is recommendable in all rela-

ons as regards to leadership and collaborators,

where the modern leader wishes to opmize to

self leading teams. The form of the session will be

introducon and round table discussion.

D5 Internaonalizaon of teacher educa-

on programs in the US: One example andand discussion of issuesPresenter:Ass. Prof. John E. Kesner PhD, College of Edu-caon, Georgia State University, Atlanta, USAOpen session. Target audience: Higher educaon

With both the US and the Europe dealing with

an ever increasing mulcultural environment,

promong understanding between the peoples

of dierent cultures and improving the quality of

their interacons is paramount. In order to meet

this challenge a new generaon of globally litera-

te educators and educaonal leaders is needed.

Faced with a rigidly proscripve teacher educa-

on program and a mandate to create more

globally literate teachers, one teacher educaon

program in the US has created an innovave new

program which will prepare students to become

eecve teachers and equip them to be able to

understand and appreciate a global perspecve.

The Department of Early Childhood Educaon

in the College of Educaon at Georgia State Uni-

versity in Atlanta , Georgia USA is designing an

undergraduate teacher educaon program in

which students complete all required courses and

school pracces while spending a signicant por-on of their program overseas engaged in course-

work and school pracce. In an Open Session

discussion format, this new program will be des-

cribed and discussed. Feedback will be solicited

from session parcipants. In addion, a general

discussion about internaonalizaon of teacher

educaon programs in the US and the unique

problems involved will be held.

group of schools teams, travelling on a journey to

a third-world developing country to study pover-

ty related issues, sustainable development and

intercultural dialogue, while at the same me de-

veloping the own school-curricula, in cooperaon

with the other teams.

The project has been running for ten years in

Sweden, for Swedish school teams, with very

posive results. But is it feasible on a European

level? The workshop will discuss aims and objec-ves, methods and benets.

large number of small rural primary and seconda-

ry schools and has for a few years promoted the

concept of system leadership and collaborave

pracce through a variety of dierent models of

leadership. This seminar will explore the ndings

of some of the sustainable models from current

pracce as well as invesgate the emerging the-

mes from a bilateral Regio project engaged with

the similar rural region of Galicia, Spain, where

ICT pedagogy development is being used as the

vehicle for collaborave learning. Universies of

Sanago da Compestella and Marjon, Plymouthare also engaged in the Regio project.

E2 Educaon concentrated to mul-sidedpersonal developmentPresenter:Ewa Szadzinska, University of Silesia, Kato-wice, PolandLecture. Target audience: General

lopment can support emancipaon in society.

E3 Leadership challenges in music educa-onPresenter:Margaretha Grahn, PhD, and Christel f-verstrm, PhL, Faculty of Educaonal Sci-ences, Linkping University, SwedenLecture. Target audience: General

At this session will be presented an arcle about

leadership in general, classroom leadership and

leadership challenges in music educaon. One

classical queson is if leadership comes naturally

or if it can be learned? Many authors mean that itis both. We have used The Leadership Diamond

by Koestenbaum (1991). One of the great issues

in leadership is the balance between chaos and

order, structure and creavity, planning and

spontaneity. Denhardt & Denhardt (2008) com-

pare being a leader with dancers and musicians

and emphasize the importance of having theo-

recal knowledge connected with pracse and

the ability of improvisaon. Another important

aspect is me to reect.

E4 LEGO System for LearningPresenters:Hasse Hjland and Jesper Just Jensen,LEGO Educaon, Billund, DenmarkWorkshop/lecture. Target audience: General

Why are LEGO bricks so pernent to a 21st cen-

tury classroom?

for learning because it oers endless possibilies

for students to explore, combine and transform

things. Systems that allow students to do this, tosimultaneously make sense of the world and give

form to their imaginaon, facilitate creavity and

innovaon like no other. We call this systemac

creavity.

of studying at the teacher training college: the

members of the group post comments, pictures,

videos

On Facebook there is a link to a website that al-

lows future students to test the level of their na-

ve language. They can also make exercises in or-

der to be well prepared when they start studying.

We give special aenon to boys and immigrant

students because they are underrepresented in

the teacher training college. In this way we want

to use facebook as a social learning network, sup-

porng informal learning.
