And it really is about a culture that supports, celebrates and shares learning. Jay points to a survey about CLOs from TogetherLearn that I think acts as a good barometer of that work. Does your school:
Welcome innovation and contributions from its teachers?
Encourage (and provide time for) reflection on successes and flops?
Tolerate mistakes and reward thinking out of the box?
Share information openly?
Foster learning for everyone?
Experiment with new ways of doing things?
Work across departments and unit boundaries with ease?

The development of Journey to El Yunque was supported by grants DRL-9908438 from the National Science Foundation to the NASA Classroom of the Future and DRL-0535942 from the National Science Foundation to The Learning Partnership. The development of Journey to El Yunque was also supported by grants #BSR-8811902, DEB-9411973, DEB-OO8538, DEB-0218039 from the National Science Foundation to the Institute of Tropical Ecosystem Studies (IEET), University of Puerto Rico, and the International Institute of Tropical Forestry (IITFR) as part of the Long-Term Ecological Research Program in the Luquillo Experimental Forest.

Might be a good link to place on your teacher page for kids to walk through at home or for one of the long Wednesdays.

I wondered how many schools could point to someone, anyone, who is in charge of learning. By that I mean someone who manages the culture of the school by focusing not on outcomes as much as how learning is writ large in the system. Someone who also understands the ways in which social Web technologies accentuate the need for the learning skills we’ve desired all along: creativity, critical thinking, independent thought, collaboration, etc. I know I keep going back to this, but I wonder how many of us can look at our colleagues and answer the question “How does that person learn?” And think of the leaders in our schools in that light as well.
