system solutions for equity, excellence, and student well-being
System transformation or solution means fundamentally altering the way we think about how systems operate, and how they could function and evolve in the face of powerful challenges that threaten human existence. The world is heading into the jaws of mass extinction or radical decline of human existence. Whether it will take 20 or 100 years remains to be seen. We need a new moral imperative and a system transformation strategy that goes along with it to have any chance of surviving for the better. We see education as crucial to this transformation, a role that it currently does not play. This book is about how to rethink the system in terms of its three levels, local, middle and top, so that each level could make a contribution individually and in combination with the other levels in order to transform the system dramatically for the better. We call this connected autonomy. The focus of this work is to develop equity, excellence and wellbeing in concert across the whole system.
