The New Imperatives of Educational Change is a clarion call to move
beyond the standardized testing and marketplace competition that
have become pervasive in school systems to focus instead on
creating the conditions that will encourage all students to become
critical and independent thinkers. Dennis Shirley presents five new
imperatives to guide educators and policymakers towards a
re-thinking of what it means to teach effectively and to learn in
depth. The evidentiary imperative requires educators to attain a
better grasp of what data actually reveal about international
trends in student learning. The interpretive imperative encourages
mindful deliberation before acting on evidence in order to promote
the integrity of a school community. The professional imperative
describes new international research findings on promising
pedagogies and curricula that propel learning in new directions.
The global imperative argues that we all must look beyond our
national boundaries to improve the flourishing of all young people,
wherever they may be found. Finally, the existential imperative
reminds us that students look to their teachers as role models who
can dignify learning with meaning and embellish life with joy.
Visionary in its scope and practical in its details, The New
Imperatives of Educational Change is an indispensable road map for
all teachers, principals, and system leaders.
