"One of the tricks of transformation is to combine urgency and passion with courageous patience." This week David Albury joins us to talk about what is needed, and how long it will take, to make transformational changes in our education systems.
David is a Senior Associate at Innovation Unit. As a co-founder and previous Board Director, David has helped shape the organization and its strategy since its foundation in 2006. For over two decades, David has consulted and advised on forming and implementing strategies and policies for transformation and innovation in education, early learning, healthcare and other public services. Interview highlights include: comparing learning challenges during the pandemic across multiple jurisdictions; the importance of context when analyzing complex systems; the power of stepping back from children and giving them their own space to learn; how recent "forced changes" in education delivery may result in powerful reflection and longer-term impacts; and David shares who and what has shaped and inspired his thinking.
