McREL – Network for Innovative Education
Watch Sir Michael Barber’s introduction, as he emphasizes the importance of addressing “the other achievement gap” between U.S. education and the rest of the world.
Visit the Network for Innovative Education website at https://sites.google.com/site/networkforinnovativeeducation for more information.
The Network for Innovative Education was formed by McREL as a call to action for the U.S. school system to resume its place among the highest performing in the world. Made up of a coalition of innovative school leaders and districts focused on high performance and high reliability, the Network aims to reverse the downward slide of student performance in America and raise the ceiling for education nationwide through examining the practices of high-reliability organizations and exploring how to apply these practices to improve education
A public lecture by Peter Maassen, Deputy Head at the Department of Education at University of Oslo. Organized by the Higher Education Research Group (HERG).
About the lecture: Higher education’s (HE) role in ‘the knowledge-based society/economy’ has received growing political attention around the world. The underlying assumption is that more complex and competitive socio-economic and technological global environments require rapid adaptations of national economies to shifting opportunities and constraints. HE is expected to play a central role in this adaptation, since, as the core (public) knowledge sector, it is assumed to link research and education effectively to the knowledge needs of society in general and the private sector in particular.
