ABSTRACT
This chapter offers three principles of action to advance pedagogical transformation in the social arena: shaping and spreading the movement’s public narrative, cultivating robust interaction and continuous learning. In the social arena, the optimal forms of organization are those that enable robust interaction and participation. Enhancing and deepening student learning is best pursued through collaborative inquiry, whereby educators engage in joint work to continuously examine evidence of student learning to assess and change their pedagogical practice. When it comes to interacting constantly to liberate learning, the work is not only the responsibility of those directly involved in teaching and learning – teachers, students, and school leaders. Liberating learning requires simultaneously changing what happens inside schools and what happens outside schools. Frequent and effective interaction with comrades sharing a common purpose can enable purposeful action by stimulating emotions that overcome inhibition, such as a sense of urgency, anger, hope, solidarity, and efficacy.
