A framework for understanding and assessing systemic change

The education system, like most organizational structures, needs fundamental changes to keep pace with the social and economic conditions of an increasingly complex global society. Taking an aerial view, this paper describes the topography of systemic change to provide multiple stakeholders a better vantage point for communicating and making decisions about their own systems. Education systems are shifting away from: learning based on time spent in the classroom; teaching done mainly via information delivery; a hierarchical, control-oriented organizational structure; and a system operating separately from other youth services.
