2 Collaborative Partnerships for System-Wide Educational Improvement | ICSEI 2017
WELCOME DELEGATES
Hello! And welcome to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada – we’re so glad you’ve joined us for this 30th annual International
Congress for School Effectiveness and Improvement. As your co-hosts, we are thrilled that this event we’ve been
planning for such a long time is finally upon us!
There’s a lot of excitement around our theme for this Congress - “Collaborative Partnerships for System-Wide Educational
Improvement” – as evidenced by the calibre of the international speakers and the hundreds of submissions we received
last summer! When you look at the program, you’ll see that we’ve provided you with a huge sampling of formats and
content, organized under our sub-themes and connected to ICSEI’s networks. Note, too, that we have dozens of posters
on display - and they’ll be changing regularly so that work connected to each of the networks is featured all at once - so be
sure to drop by the poster lounge often.
Whichever sessions you attend, we hope you’ll see the thread of partnerships between and among the various participants
in international education systems – students, parents, communities, schools, districts, government, and academics – and
the power they have to inform and impact student learning, practitioner professional learning, and system leadership.
We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the many people who made this conference possible. First, to the
ICSEI board led by President Michael Schratz and managed by Executive Director Jenny Lewis - thank you for giving us
the opportunity to host this momentous event. Thanks also to the dozens who volunteered to review proposals and to
chair sessions. They are too numerous to name! The Congress Organizing Committee was made up of sub-committees led
by the following colleagues:
• Joan Oracheski – Registration, Venue & Logistics • Linda Nicolson – PR & Advertising
• Gilles Latour – Partnerships and Finance • Chris Suurtamm & Doris McWhorter –
• Sarah Russell – Hospitality/School Connections Education Program
The work of each of these sub-committees was carried out by volunteers from across the province and around the world,
representing dozens of supporting organizations.
We owe a debt of gratitude to Ottawa Tourism - they have been a huge support right from the start! And thanks also to
the staff of the Delta Ottawa City Centre and the Marriott Ottawa for working with us over the past many months to make
this a great place to gather. We are also grateful for the outstanding support of our event planners from Enterprise Canada
– Dave and Margaret and the team stepped in this fall and have helped us pull it all together.
Please be sure to connect with our sponsors – we greatly value their monetary and in-kind support. There is more
information about them later in the program.
And finally, thank you to all the educators, policy makers and scholars who have taken the time to network and share their
work with all of us. We appreciate the chance to learn from and with you. And ultimately, that is what ICSEI is all about. To
quote ICSEI President Michael Schratz: “it takes the wisdom and experience of many to create a better world.” We dare to
hope this conference takes us all one step further down the path of better outcomes for all.
Sincerely,
Christine Suurtamm Doris McWhorter

President’s Message
Welcome to ICSEI 2017 in Ottawa, Canada’s capital. Both Canada and ICSEI will celebrate significant events this year
– Canada its 150th anniversary of Confederation, ICSEI its 30th anniversary of becoming a committed global network
of diverse expertise and professional capital. Ontario has a unique tradition in educational reform and is internationally
recognized as an equitable, high-achieving and continuously improving province. Since its visionary beginning, ICSEI
has grown into a global organization and resilient network. It focuses on making schools around the world excellent and
equitable by bringing together researchers, policy makers and educators, and creating the space for creative thinking and
prototyping innovative practices for learning on all system levels.
This year, colleagues from 41 countries will gather at this event and share knowledge and experience from various
perspectives, each motivated by a vigorous commitment to improve educational opportunities for all. This year’s
conference theme, “Collaborative Partnerships for System-Wide Educational Improvement,” will offer a multitude of
opportunities to question how schools and education systems position their future in the decisions they make today.
Participating in this Ottawa Congress offers us the chance to share our wealth of profound expertise in education, and
enables the ICSEI network to grow and enhance a collective body of wisdom. Complex social challenges - as we are
experiencing them around the globe in a rapidly increasing pace - demand new forms of learning to find adequate
solutions. Networks as resilient webs of shared expertise based on collaboration and believing in co-creation, offer
complex learning environments that shape pathways to robust next practice: the more variable the environments
get, the more variable an organization needs to be to be able to respond to unpredictable phenomena or unexpected
happenstances in the emerging future.
As educators, in our roles as policy makers, teachers, principals, facilitators, networkers, teacher educators or researchers,
we need to question the “how,” the “what,” and the “what for” of education, in relation to its impact on the lives and well-
being of children as capable agents of their lives, as citizens of a global world, and as future decision makers and power
brokers.
The organizing team have put together an inspiring program which offers plentiful learning experiences in the search
for new questions and creative answers with regard to equity, engagement and professional learning. This conference
provides a space for profoundly addressing the challenges of school effectiveness and improvement, educational
innovation and transformation, excellence and equity from the perspectives of educational policy, theory and practice. It
holds the space to question how to enhance educative experiences which enable young people to become the persons
they can be with dignity, respect, trust and honour. Let us share ideas about enabling learners and educators alike to
embrace diversity while reaching out for yet unknown possibilities.
A warm thank you to the Ottawa team for all their effort, and a warm welcome to all participating in an exciting and
effective conference, and for sharing their knowledge and wisdom in making “excellent education for all” our ultimate goal.
Professor Dr. Michael Schratz
Dean, School of Education, University of Innsbruck
ICSEI President 2015-2017

Session Descriptions
Presentations are formatted in one of seven ways:
Symposium
A symposium provides an opportunity to examine specific research issues, problems, or topics from a variety of
perspectives. They may present alternative solutions, interpretations, or contrasting points of view on a specific
subject, or in relation to a common theme. Often they feature a panel discussion format. Frequently interactive,
a large portion of the session may be devoted to dialogue among the presenters and discussant, questions and
discussion among all those present, or small-group interaction. Symposia are 90 minutes in length.
Innovate
Innovate sessions provide an opportunity to showcase innovative and creative approaches to practice.
Presenters are encouraged to consider alternative formats if a traditional mode isn’t ideal. Innovate sessions
last 30 minutes.
Paper
In this format, authors present abbreviated versions of their papers, followed by comments/critique and
audience discussion. A typical structure for a session with four or five papers is approximately five minutes
for the chair’s introduction, 10 minutes per author presentation, 20 minutes for critique, and 15 minutes for
discussion. Paper sessions are scheduled for one hour.
Poster
Poster sessions combine the graphic display of materials with the opportunity for individualized, informal
discussion of the research. Individual presenters set up displays representing their papers in a large area with
other presenters. This year, posters are displayed together based on network affiliation.
Workshop
Workshops offer a forum for discussion of a broad range of emerging and specialized topics of interest
to the ICSEI community. Workshops are more interactive and informal than paper sessions, and they can
involve extended discussion, group brainstorming sessions, mini-tutorials around key ideas, and
proof-of-concept demonstration sessions. Workshops last for one hour.
Roundtable
Roundtable presentations allow for extended discussion among a small group. Roundtables are excellent
venues for giving and receiving targeted feedback, engaging in in-depth discussions, and meeting
colleagues with similar interests. Roundtables are one hour in length.
Showcase
Each year, we highlight some of the many countries that comprise ICSEI, wherein participants attending from
that country can focus on its national educational achievements and issues. This year, we are featuring Singapore,
hosts of ICSEI 2018, and countries from Africa and Asia engaged with the Aga Khan Development Network.

Conference Sub-Themes
Engaging Students, Families and Communities
This strand focuses on the shared interests of schools, families and communities in advancing student learning,
development and well-being. There is a particular emphasis in this strand on collaborative strategies to engage
students, to invite and respect student voice, and to involve families and communities as integral partners in
enhancing school and systems effectiveness.
Increasing Equity and Challenging Disadvantage
ICSEI has a long standing interest in identifying and addressing inequities and disadvantage in and through
schooling. This strand is concerned with global and current perspectives on persisting and emerging inequities
in education, and the reciprocal learning and action required to address these inequities. In particular, there is a
focus on valuing learning that can be drawn from Indigenous perspectives as a way to enhance understanding
and shared perspectives.
Connecting Research, Policy and Practice
This strand speaks to increasing opportunities in education for practitioners, researchers, political leaders and
policy makers to engage with one another to understand and respect one another’s contexts, and to make
more effective use of assets and experiences through reciprocal relationships. We will also seek to establish
greater clarity on the nature of knowledge mobilization, how it can be useful to support and scale up effective
practices in context-sensitive ways, and its level of uptake and usefulness for evidence-informed decision-
making in education.
System and School Improvement
This strand focuses on contemporary evidence concerning school and system improvements from a range of
localities, sectors and international contexts. This strand encourages research attending to specific cultural,
political, social and economic educational contexts, processes and outcomes, for local communities, schools
and classrooms.
Developing Professional Capital
The development of professional capital – the human, social and decisional capital – of educators is central
to debates concerning new forms of professionalism and the development of formal and informal leadership
throughout education systems. Increasingly teacher leadership is an important area of development, alongside
school and system leadership. In order to support students to succeed, appropriate professional learning
is required to assist school improvement and effectiveness. This strand is concerned with all aspects of
educational leadership and professional learning.
Measuring Educational Effectiveness
Global discussions on defining and measuring educational effectiveness have been long standing; recent
methodological, theoretical and empirical advances have further contributed to these debates. This strand
seeks papers that explore the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of measuring educational effectiveness, including broader
measures of learning, equity, well-being and achievement. The strand includes original studies presenting new
methods and evidence concerning school and system effectiveness.

ICSEI Networks
ICSEI networks provide an international forum for the exchange of information and dialogue on critical issues
though active discussion among researchers, practitioners, and policy makers, both online and at ICSEI
conferences.
There are five active networks (described below).The networks consist of groups within ICSEI that were already
forming and holding events between regular annual meetings. Since 2006 the networks have been officially
recognized and more closely tied to ICSEI. During annual conferences, each network hosts meetings open to
preregistered conference participants, organizes preconference workshops (held this year on January 7), and
supports the presentation of papers and symposia specific to their focus areas. ICSEI members are encouraged
to join the networks to strengthen and facilitate the sharing of thoughts, experiences, and challenges, and to
build professional learning communities.
The Five Networks
Educational Leadership (EL)
The Educational Leadership (EL) Network is for leaders at all levels: in practice, policy, and research. The focus
is on sharing and advancing the creation of knowledge in the field of educational leadership, drawing on
perspectives from around the globe. The network includes members from all over the world, who currently
strive to examine how educational leadership aimed at school effectiveness and strengthening the quality of
teaching and learning is enacted and studied in various country contexts. The aim of this work is to identify
emerging themes of interest in the field of educational leadership, in and around schools, for policy, practice,
and research.
Methods of Researching Educational Effectiveness (MoRE)
The Methods of Researching Educational Effectiveness (MoRE) Network focuses on presenting and interpreting
results of empirical studies in educational effectiveness; exchanging ideas for research in effectiveness and
evaluation of improvement programs; developing research proposals for studies in educational effectiveness,
especially international comparative studies; discussing problems encountered in educational effectiveness
research and identifying possible solutions; identifying new research methods for issues unique to educational
effectiveness; and contributing to the establishment of a databank of research instruments used in educational
effectiveness studies.
Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC)
The Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) Network consists of a conglomerate of practitioners,
researchers and policy makers having attended ICSEI since the beginning of the network in 2008. Globally,
there’s an increased focus on the economic, as well as human, benefits of children attending quality ECEC-
institutions at a young age. The degree of expansion varies tremendously leaving room for co-national learning.
The ECEC network serves as a platform for getting quick access to, and exchanging knowledge about, the rapid
development of Early Childhood Education and Care around the world, and especially in the countries that
network members represent. Since most members are unable to attend the Congress on a regular basis, the
network is updated once a year and Congress participants, working with ECEC matters, are welcome to join
the network.

3P (Policymakers, Politicians, and Practitioners)
Practitioners (e.g., teachers, principals, administrators, consultants, and trainers) often work in isolation, but
frequently they are required to collaborate with policy makers and politicians. Partnerships among these
groups are the focus of the 3P (Policymakers, Politicians, and Practitioners) Network. It is important to
emphasize capacity building so that as local educational and children’s services policies are developed, they
stimulate and facilitate school improvement, which then becomes integrated into the broader construct of
health, well-being, and community and lifelong learning. The 3P Network is a professional practice and research
network for all professionals engaged in the policy determination, planning, and delivery of educational and
other services to children, young people, and families.
Data Use
The Data Use Network brings together researchers, policy makers, and practitioners working in the field of
data-based decision making. The focus is on the use of data, such as assessments, observations, and surveys,
to improve education at the school, classroom, and individual student levels. Important topics for the network
are aspects of policy or practice with regard to data use that have positive impacts in different countries’
contexts; factors that hinder or enable the use of data; effects and side effects of data use; definitions of
effective data use (i.e., what does data use in different countries look like); support of schools in the use of data;
and characteristics of effective professional development in the use of data.

The Office of Academic Partnerships at Algonquin College is focused on helping Grade 11 and 12
high school students find and follow their vocational pathways. We work to create links between
secondary learning and college opportunities, helping prepare students to transition successfully
into postsecondary and beyond. Through funding from the School College Work initiative, we partner
with school boards to provide two broad categories of experiences, Dual Credits and Activities. Dual
Credits allow students to register in college courses or apprenticeship training while still in high
school, potentially earning a credit at both institutions. Activities offer students in Grades 7-10 an
opportunity to take part in hands-on experiences within various fields of study.
Our goal is to work collaboratively with our school board partners to provide students with engaging
programs and appropriate supports to ensure both secondary and postsecondary success.
At the Ottawa Catholic School Board, all students are inspired and guided to realize their spiritual,
social and academic potential, and to take their place in the world as thoughtful, well-rounded citizens.
The mission of the Ottawa Catholic School Board is to provide all our students with quality education
for the mind, body and spirit, through an emphasis on academic excellence, social responsibility and
Catholic values. The Ottawa Catholic School Board’s balanced approach to preparing students for
leadership, fulfillment and lifelong learning in a rapidly changing world is founded on four pillars.
• We support the whole person’s spiritual, mental, physical and emotional well-being in a safe,
diverse and respectful community.
• We deliver academic excellence in vibrant English and French programs.
• We respect the universal values of all faiths and proclaim Catholic principles of faith and
service to others in all our teaching.
• We use innovative methods and technologies to support all learning styles and to help our
students develop a love of learning in order to thrive in a changing world.
Curriculum Services Canada (CSC) partners with ministries of education, university faculties of

The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) is a dynamic, creative learning organization

in the city of Ottawa covering 2,760 square kilometres. The OCDSB is the largest school district in

school councils and the Parent Involvement Committee.
Celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2016, CEA is a not-for-profit research and action centre. With
