PROFESSIONAL CAPITAL How educational leadership works to promote student learning Reference: Andy Hargreaves & Michael Fullan, Professional Capital (2012)
Proposition #1 The central role of leadership in schools is the development of the professional capital of the staff
Proposition #2 The smart use of data is at the heart of the development of professional capital
Proposition #3 Nothing changes if you don t do something differently Don t be data-driven , be data-informed
2 DIFFERENT VIEWS OF CAPITAL Why you sometimes know something is wrong, but can t put your finger on why
The Business Capital View: Good teaching: May be emotionally demanding but is technically simple Is a quick study requiring only moderate intellectual ability Is hard at first but with dedication is mastered readily Should be driven by hard performance data about what works and where best to target one s efforts Comes down to enthusiasm, hard work, raw talent and measurable results Is often replaceable by online instruction
The Professional Capital View: Good teaching: Is technically sophisticated and difficult Requires high levels of education and long periods of training Is perfected through continuous improvement Involves wise judgment informed by evidence and experience Is a collective accomplishment and responsibility Maximises, mediates and moderates online instruction.
PROFESSIONAL CAPITAL: PC = f ( HC, SC, DC ) PC Professional Capital HC Human Capital SC Social Capital DC Decisional Capital
Human Capital Having the knowledge and skills to do the job Knowing your subject Knowing your students Knowing how learning works Understanding the student context Emotional capacity Can t be raised in isolation in an effective way PC = f ( HC, SC, DC )
Social Capital Exists in relationships between people Trust and openness Teamwork Clarity in roles Common sense of purpose Sense of empowerment Raising the Social Capital of a staff will raise Human Capital, but the reverse is not true. Research is clear: developing SC works to develop student learning. (Not one-off seminars...!) PC = f ( HC, SC, DC )
Decisional Capital The essence of professionalism: the ability to make discretionary judgments (Empowerment) Weighing multiple sources of incomplete data Parallels to the common law Amateurs vs professionals 10,000 hours (K. Anders Ericcsson) Reflective practice together SC DC PC = f ( HC, SC, DC )
HOW DO WE UNPACK THE ROLE OF DATA USE IN THIS? the Data Divide , with the Hart Data to explain.
