Are schools risk takers?

Schools around the world are under pressure to achieve good academic outcomes, accountable to a conservative constituency of parents, educators, governors and systems who can be resistant to change, for the sake of “success”.

This often forces schools and teachers to play it safe and default to traditional teaching practices in pursuit of student outcomes, rather than implement innovative approaches in the interest of student learning.

They remain bound to practices and conditions that have not significantly developed for decades; some might even say centuries. Such conditions don’t permit teachers to create the space or opportunities for students to develop as learners, rather than simply succeed as examination candidates. As long as teaching for success trumps facilitating for learning, the model is inapt.
