Are you leading a learning hive?

Why do systems using the same strategies get wildly different results?

The answers lie in how these systems work, not just what they are doing. Look to leadership, system design, and implementation, not policies and rules, and the answer begins to take shape.

Learn how to transform your system so that it functions as learning hive in CPRL’s new book The Learning Hive: Leading Collective Innovation to Transform Education Systems.

The Learning Hive: Leading Collective Innovation to Transform Education Systems offers a new vision of leadership and education system design organized around dynamic “learning hives,” collections of people working together to treat daily operations as ongoing opportunities for collaborative learning and improvement.

Based on CPRL’s years of research and experience working with leaders across the public sector, the book helps cultivate education systems where dynamic governance and democratic participation enable the creation and ongoing improvement of educational strategies tailored to the unique and ever-changing needs of every student and community.

This book gives you and your team the tools and guidance to flex to the ongoing changes in your community while getting ever better at serving each and every young person, family, and educator.

The Learning Hive offers the missing piece for those committed to improving public education. If you’ve ever felt stuck in structures that seem out of sync with the spirit of continuous improvement, this book is both a mirror and a guide—showing how rethinking governance can unlock the innovation, learning, and responsiveness needed to meet the evolving demands of our schools and communities.

There’s long been a cottage industry that thrives by taking anecdotes about education success to sell shallow and one-dimensional imitations. In contrast, The Learning Hive digs deep into the real story behind the so-called ‘Mississippi Miracle,’ demonstrating the long, hard work required to turn the germ of a policy idea into a rooted and durable approach.
