Abstract

This session showcases research from the International Congress for School Improvement and Effectiveness (ICSEI) community and beyond. It explores how educational systems across the globe are engaging in system transformation towards holistic student development. While sustaining academic rigor, these systems are also focusing on addressing the social, emotional, moral, and civic development of the whole child. Systems are engaging in re-building to manage their environments and design and integrate educational infrastructures in everyday school and classroom practice. Presenting findings from six systems and a cross-case analysis, this session will contribute to understanding how system rebuilding efforts evolve in multiple international contexts, including Canada, Chile, India, Ireland, Singapore, the U.S., and cross-nationally.
