New learning: a charter for change in educationFootnote11. We began to develop the ideas in this chapter when Mary was President of the Australian Council of Deans of Education. With the support and assistance of the Council, we created a Charter document in order to provide a focus for lobbying the Australian Government in support of educational reform: see Mary Kalantzis and Bill Cope, New learning: A charter for Australian education (Canberra: Australian Council of Deans of Education, 2001) and the subsequent update Mary Kalantzis and Andrew Harvey, New teaching, new learning: A vision for Australian education (Canberra: Australian Council of Deans of Education, 2004). We moved to the USA at a point when the problems of the Bush reform agenda for schools, ‘No Child Left Behind’, were beginning to stand out. In the context of the 2008 presidential election, we brought together 35 experts in the place we now work, the College of Education at the University of Illinois, to imagine what kinds of educational reform we might recommend. This chapter draws particularly on action areas 5–9 of this charter project. A full version of the charter can be found at http://education.illinois.edu/newlearning/ This is a site of dialogue, where educators are very much welcomed to join the online discussion.
