Edward Pajak focus on clinical supervision

‘When Dewey called for the application of the scientific method to educational problems, he was referring to reflective inquiry as a guide to practice.’ (:2-3)

Democratic supervision recognises the worth of individuals.Democracy is action oriented: the pursuit of intelligent solutions through problem-centred groups.Schools are information-based organisations.

David Weinberger’s Cluetrain (1999)

‘A powerful global conversation has begun. Through the Internet, people are discovering and inventing new ways to share relevant knowledge with blinding speed. As a direct result, markets are getting smarter—and getting smarter faster than most companies.’

Claims that expertise is no longer in an individual, but the result of social interaction.This is the result (in part) of a sociotechnical revolution.
