Global trends in professional learning and performance & development

This report was completed by the Innovation Unit on behalf of the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL). It set out to discover innovative practice in professional learning and performance and development in new or transformational sectors including, but not limited to, education. Based on an extensive ‘horizon scan’ of more than 50 cross-sectoral organisations (including education, arts, technology, business, and health), the report identifies five global trends in innovative approaches to professional learning: Integrated, Immersive, Design-led, Market-led and Open. For each of these trends the report identifies a spectrum of practices from ‘almost/already here’ to ‘next wave’ and ‘on the horizon’, providing illustrative examples for implementation in the education sector. This scan offers insight into the processes that successful and innovative organisations use to support professional growth. These findings encourage all educators, policy makers, system administrators and professional learning providers to go beyond what is currently known. They provide stimulus to consider new and different ways of engaging and supporting educators’ growth, while retaining the best of current practice

Global Innovations in Measurement and Evaluation

We researched the latest developments in theory and practice in measurement and evaluation. And we found that new thinking, techniques, and technology are influencing and improving practice. This report highlights 8 developments that we think have the greatest potential to improve evaluation and programme design, and the careful collection and use of data. In it, we seek to inform and inspire—to celebrate what is possible, and encourage wider application of these ideas
