Many schools know that they need to transform but do not know where to start. 4C Transformative Learning fits the gap between system policy and works with schools on the transformation journey. Systems are often too large to work with individual schools and often schools don’t have the time or energy to do it alone. With our organisation and our network of >80 schools transformation is achievable.
We work in deep relationship with schools understanding their needs then working with them in a bespoke way through professional learning, inquiry, online learning and leadership development to tailor a package that will meet their needs. This is distinctive as many other organisations simply do ‘bolt on’ professional learning. We leverage our network to generate learning across schools and build productive relationships. All of this is founded on the three (soon to be 5) books we have written on school transformation. In those books are frameworks that we call coherence makers that structure concepts in education. For instance the creativity cascade coherence maker (Jefferson and Anderson, 2021) provides a clear pedagogical approach to understanding creativity. We have created coherence makers based on research evidence for the 4Cs, pedagogy, learning dispositions and more. These coherence makers are brought to life by creative, embodied and inquiry based professional learning.
We have seen exponential growth from 1 school to 20 to now more than 80 schools and early childcare centres. We would love now to offer this work to the international community to support educators to transform their schools with an understanding of their own contexts.
Have a look at our website at www.4c transformativelearning.org and then email us at Jamie.gerlach@4ctransformativelearning.org and arrange a zoom to discuss your school’s needs and how we can enable transformation in your school, university, system or early childcare setting.
