How adults learn in high performing schools
![Page 14: VII Meeting of OAS Ministers of Education Suriname 1-2 March 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062807/56815209550346895dc04ae9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
High-performing schools “learn” more
• High-performing schools tend to be characterized as “learning organizations”
• Learning organizations tend to have the following characteristics:• Supportive and shared leadership, participation in decisions• Shared values, vision, goals• Collective learning, shared application of learning, “horizontal
network of information flow” (Schechter/Qadach), commitment to improvement
• Supportive conditions, resources, culture• Shared personal practice, break with traditional isolated
practice– Recent research has been trying to link such characteristics to
changes in instructional practice and student achievement

How do adults learn in high performing schools?
• Maintain stability, a level of certainty within the inevitable uncertainty, focus on students’ development, fight distractions
• There is trust between adults and students, transparency in decisions
• Leaders that develop and monitor organizational learning mechanisms
• “Professional learning communities”
