Description
Summary:Policy changes carry with them the need for new learning. Here, Bransford and Vye examine how learning theories might enable district leaders to develop strong school districts that help all students to succeed. They explores two particular lines of theory--sociocultural and organizational learning theories--and the possibility of combining them to create synergies. They also comment on the articles as learning scientists who are fans of many aspects of sociocultural and organizational learning theories yet who have conducted research from somewhat different theoretical traditions.
