  • Provides systems thinking to Education at the classroom, school, and district, regional, state and international level.
  • Provides a web site (“The Hub”) to member schools/districts with resources, materials and exemplars internationally. 
  • It focuses on the Deep Learning portion of the coherence Framework; by Michael Fullan and Joann Quinn.

What are key elements of NPDL?

  • Four key elements that mobilize learning of students: Learning Partnerships, Learning Environments, Leveraging Digital, Pedagogical Practices
  • The 6 Global Competencies or 6 C’s: character, citizenship, collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking
  • Collaborative Inquiry

  • Using process tools like a Tuning protocol for reflective practices
  • Participating in the NPDL moderation process which helps to calibrate practice with the 6 c’s and provides quality feedback to educators.
