Transforming the Education Workforce: A Vision from the Education Commission
  • Amy Bellinger, Lead for the Education Workforce Initiative
  • Katie Godwin, Research Associate, Education Workforce Initiative
  • Carole G. Basile, Dean and Professor, Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, Arizona State University
  • Martin Henry, Research Co-ordinator Education International

Three interacting visions for the education workforce to reach system goals of access, equity, learning and inclusion is presented in light of The Education Workforce Initiative (EWI).  EWI aims to turn the Education Commission’s Learning Generation report recommendation on expanding, strengthening and diversifying the education workforce into action by harnessing the latest evidence and innovations to inform new ways of approaching education workforce reform.  EWI’s Transforming the Education Workforce: Learning Teams for a Learning Generation draws on recent evidence and thought leadership to outline the three visions for rethinking the education workforce.

During this webinar Amy Bellinger and Katie Godwin of the Education Commission will present this vision and Carole G Basile and Martin Henry will act as discussants.The session chair is Michael Owen, Dean of Education, Brock University, Canada and GNDE Steering Committee member.
