Professional Capital

Masterclass Santiago Rincón Gallardo

Professional Capital (Hargreaves and Fullan, 2012) is the core asset that successful schools and school systems un-tap and cultivate to fundamentally transform teaching and learning in classrooms, schools and entire educational systems. It is the combination of human capital (the talent of individuals), social capital (the strength and quality of interactions within a group), and decisional capital (the capacity to make good decisions grounded on professional judgement). In this masterclass, Santiago will help you understand how to cultivate professional capital, to deepen the learning and motivation of young people and adults in your organization.
