The OECD Handbook for Innovative Learning Environments
How might we know whether our schools or system are set up to optimise learning? How
can we find out whether we are getting the most from technology? How can we evaluate
our innovation or think through whether our change initiative will bring about its
desired results? Teachers and educational leaders who grapple with such questions
will find this handbook an invaluable resource. It draws on extensive reports and
materials compiled over a decade by the OECD in its Innovative Learning Environments
(ILE) project. Its four chapters – The learning principles; The innovative learning
environment framework; Learning leadership and evaluative thinking; and Transformation
and change - each contain a concise, non-technical overview introduction followed
by a set of tools. The handbook makes good the ILE ambition not just to analyse change
but to offer practical help to those around the world determined to innovate their
schools and systems.
“If there has been one lesson learnt about innovating education, it is that teachers,
schools and local administrators should not just be involved in the implementation
of educational change but they should have a central role in its design.” Andreas
Schleicher, OECD Director for Education and Skills.
