Coherence in Schools: The Key to Powerful Learning Experiences

Dr. Justin Reich highlights the importance of coherence in schools, where all elements work together to support powerful learning experiences. He discusses two pathways to coherence, invitational leadership and transformational leadership. Invitational leadership involves creating a model vision and inviting others to join, while transformational leadership focuses on bringing people together, understanding their achievements, and guiding them towards a more coherent approach. Reich emphasizes the need for shared values and instructional language to foster collaboration and experimentation. He also explores the role of design thinking in promoting continuous improvement and innovation in schools.
