STATE HOUSE — It's unlikely that the Massachusetts House and Senate will be able to agree on a charter school expansion bill that would prompt charter school proponents to drop a proposed ballot question, key lawmakers told school committee members on Tuesday.
The ballot question calls for the addition of 12 charter schools per year in Massachusetts. Supporters say it will open up educational opportunities for students on waiting lists while critics say charter expansion will diminish capabilities of traditional public schools.
Dale Carnegie recently surveyed 500 business leaders from 12 countries about where their organizations are focusing their innovation efforts. Among the top six areas of focus across all respondents was innovation related to the organization's "culture of learning."
In many ways, this doesn't come as a surprise. Given the rapid pace of global change, organizations need to innovate how they develop their talent and enable it to adapt. But before we can innovate the culture around learning, we have to understand the four composite archetypes of a learning culture.
