TEANNA GLASS LEARNING ORGANIZATION RESOURCES Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity. Click the weekly resources link to access the resources. WEEKLY RESOURCES BY DAY 3 OF WEEK 8 Create a discussion post in response to the following:  Consider either the Grand City school system as a whole or an individual school within Grand City and explain whether or not you think it is a learning organization; provide the rationale for your opinion.  Identify which aspects of the system may demonstrate features akin to a learning organization and which aspects do not.  Finally, consider a school or system with which you are familiar and explain why it is or is not a learning organization.  Cite specific examples and the course reading to support your position. BY DAY 7 OF WEEK 8 Comment on at least one colleague’s discussion post by offering alternative perspectives or additional insights. First, one would need to understand what a learning organization is and or what it should look like. A learning organization is one that promotes learning and development at all levels, embraces change, and continuously improves to achieve its goals. It encourages the sharing of

knowledge, experimentation, and innovation. Here are some aspects to consider in determining whether a school system or an individual school is a learning organization: 1. Leadership: Is there a strong leadership culture that supports and promotes a learning mindset? Are leaders actively involved in fostering a culture of continuous improvement and learning? 2. Learning culture : Does the organization value and prioritize learning? Is there a supportive environment that encourages inquiry, collaborative problem-solving, and knowledge sharing among staff and students? 3. Knowledge creation and sharing : Is there a system in place for capturing and sharing knowledge and best practices, both within the organization and externally? Are there opportunities for teachers to share their expertise and experiences with their colleagues? 4. Continuous improvement : Does the organization have processes and systems in place to assess and improve its practices and outcomes? Are the results of evaluations and feedback used to make informed decisions and drive improvement? 5. Adaptability : Does the organization embrace change and actively seek opportunities for growth and innovation? Is there a willingness to experiment and learn from failures? 6. Learning opportunities : Are there professional development programs and opportunities for staff to enhance their skills and knowledge? Are students provided with meaningful learning experiences that go beyond traditional education? Now, when examining the Grand City School system, they embody parts of the criteria listed above which makes them a learning organization. The school has effective leadership through its principal and some school staff who are trying to assist with the gaps within the learning environment. Also, the organization has adaptability as the school staff want to see change occur with the current school climate and they are actively seeking collaborative efforts to bring the changes to life. Even though Grand City does not have all six qualities of what is considered to make an environment a learning organization, it does not mean the current qualities they do have do not count. As Grand City evolves and makes those small adjustments along the way and implements the other qualities, it can be a thriving district. Furthermore, in my previous role within an inner-city Atlanta school, it was a prime example of a learning organization within the district. It had a strong leadership culture that promoted and supported continuous learning and improvement. The principal and administrative team actively encourage staff members to embrace a growth mindset and provided them with the necessary resources and opportunities for professional development. One of the notable features of the

school was its learning culture. Teachers and students were encouraged to share knowledge, collaborate, and engage in inquiry-based learning. The school promoted a supportive environment where everyone felt comfortable asking questions, seeking feedback, and taking risks in their teaching or learning practices. References Senge, P.

The new technology being implemented within your school organization also showcases levels of adaptability from the teachers and students. When new tools are used in a space, it creates a new level for collaborative efforts amongst other learners and staff to showcase how to make the assignments easier or more adaptive for the learners. With the new implementation did you see the workload increase for the staff or did the outlook of implementing new technology become a welcoming idea?
