Building collaborative learning ecosystems to help children thrive
Ross Hall
For Ross, ‘thriving’ means taking a holistic view of wellbeing, intertwined with sustainability and including both individual and collective aspects. He believes education systems need to transform to foster thriving by creating diverse learning ecosystems. These ecosystems involve stakeholders working together to meet varied learning needs and achieve shared goals. Through “weaving”, Ross explains, people learn and work together, and are connected to shared purposes to facilitate collaboration and learning. Community involvement and collaborative professionalism in education benefits children’s learning. Ross urges teachers to model and promote these practices to build sustainable learning environments.

“In order to learn to thrive together we need to benefit from a wide range of learning experiences and environments, and that means you need to involve a wide range of actors, people who are influencing experiences.”
