Took a few days to figure out I was instructing the taxi driver from the metro in the wrong order of initials for the 5 mins journey from the metro..it was non intelligible as OECD but perfectly fine Madame as OCDE! This week I met with a diverse range of OECD directors and researchers. All are doing very sophisticated work on education policy and indicators and research into priority areas like innovation in learning environments and governance systems and accountability. The case study is alive and well as a foundation approach to identifying good practice and then 'scaling up' becomes the challenge. All work is done in a highly consultative way and they have mastered the art of the working conference to deliver improvements of frameworks and products...part of the secret is of course location location location..who does not want to come to Paris for an engaging session on things eductional?? Here I am meeting with Andreas Schleicher, formerly known worldwide as Mr PISA but now working more broadly..with a firm belief on the power of indicators and data to drive policy change.
