The Teaching Profession Reimagined: From Classrooms to System-Level Transformation Video
This 60-minute webinar from EduSkillsOECD explores how educational innovation can begin in classrooms and expand across schools and systems. As traditional models struggle to meet the needs of learners, the session focuses on reimagining teaching as relationship driven, metacognitive, and rooted in real-world problem-solving. Drawing from the OECD’s New Professionalism and the Future of Teaching project, educators and researchers discuss what teachers need to feel supported in taking risks and trying new approaches. The conversation emphasizes how innovation often begins with individual experimentation and evolves into broader transformation when aligned with supportive systems. Speakers share strategies and conditions that encourage lasting change, including professional learning opportunities, collaborative cultures, and leadership that values continuous improvement. The webinar features insights from Linda Darling-Hammond of the Learning Policy Institute and offers practical ideas for those seeking to promote innovation in teaching and learning at scale.
