      Dear Michel,

Our latest publication from the International Futures Forum is now out!

   Transformative Innovation in Education:
a playbook for pragmatic visionaries *'We are currently preparing students
for jobs that don't yet exist, using technologies that have not been
invented, in order to solve problems we don't even know are problems
yet.'*[Karl Fisch]

*How can educators rise to such a challenge?*

*Transformative Innovation in Education: a playbook for pragmatic
visionaries* explains how the push for 'incremental improvement' has crowded
out space for anything more visionary and far-sighted. It provides practical
advice, frameworks and worked examples of how to escape that incremental
trap: the 'three horizons' framework for long term change, templates for
resolving dilemmas and examples of where this approach has been applied in
practice.

What is exciting teachers and educational leaders about the approach
described in *Transformative Innovation in Education* is the considerable
space it reveals for creative resolution of the apparently intractable
conflict between freedom and regulation. There is indeed a conflict zone,
but it is possible to move beyond it: *'if you get to the resolution space
you soar like an eagle'*.

You can buy it in paperback for £10 or download a pdf version for just £3.99
including VAT from the Triarchy Press
bookshop<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=11844980&msgid=5348026&act=CH3A&c=43399&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Ftriarchypress.co.uk%2Fpages%2Fbook21.htm>.
You can also read more about the pamphlet in an article from the Times
Educational Supplement<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=11844980&msgid=5348026&act=CH3A&c=43399&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tes.co.uk%2Farticle.aspx%3Fstorycode%3D6013564>or
sample it on
scribd<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=11844980&msgid=5348026&act=CH3A&c=43399&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scribd.com%2Fdoc%2F15268309%2FTransformative-Innovation-in-Education>.



The pamphlet is written for practical innovators, pragmatic visionaries,
teachers and school leaders. It takes Scotland as a case study and records
work with a diverse range of education professionals and policy makers
seeking to realise the transformative potential of the Scottish Government's
*Curriculum for
Excellence*<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=11844980&msgid=5348026&act=CH3A&c=43399&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ltscotland.org.uk%2Fcurriculumforexcellence%2F>.
The tools and methods discussed can be used in any school, any education
authority.

*Transformative Innovation in Education* explains the key ideas clearly and
simply and makes pragmatic proposals for implementing them. It addresses
difficult issues with a remarkable lightness of touch. The pamphlet is an
essential companion to the 3 Horizons of Education Toolkit which will soon
be available. It is attractively illustrated in full colour.

The pamphlet is a natural companion to several other recent Triarchy Press
titles. If you like this one, you might like *Ten Things to Do in a
Conceptual Emergency*<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=11844980&msgid=5348026&act=CH3A&c=43399&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Ftriarchypress.co.uk%2Fpages%2Fbook19.htm>and
its free add-on pamphlet
*Beyond Survival*<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=11844980&msgid=5348026&act=CH3A&c=43399&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Ftriarchypress.co.uk%2Fpages%2Fbook20.htm>.
It also makes Buzz Wilms' story of bureaucratic
meddling<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=11844980&msgid=5348026&act=CH3A&c=43399&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Ftriarchypress.co.uk%2Fpages%2Fbook7.htm>in
an innovative educational environment all the more poignant.
Systems-aware leadership is a key theme of the pamphlet and is
comprehensively explored in Bill Tate's *The Search For
Leadership*<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=11844980&msgid=5348026&act=CH3A&c=43399&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Ftriarchypress.co.uk%2Fpages%2Fbook22.htm>
