Envisioning Educational Transformation supports aspiring change agents in moving beyond the status quo by building new ambitions for educational access, quality, and equity in their local contexts, with a specific focus on identifying relationships among global, national, and local agendas for systems transformation. You will engage with leading policymakers and researchers to understand global and national policy discourses about educational transformation, and you will collaborate with course colleagues in cross-national comparisons of ambitions for educational access, quality, and equity to fuel your creativity and motivation. You’ll then engage in local systems analyses and lead a local “visioning conversation” with the aim of building shared ambitions for educational transformation in your local context.

The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
