Jacques-Olivier Perche is Head of Professional Learning for the English Schools Foundation (ESF) in Hong Kong. Jacques has over two decades of experience shaping professional learning and development practices for educators in international school settings. Inspired by Rancière's idea of intellectual emancipation, Jacques, alongside Professor Patrick Alexander, has explored the notion of 'Intellectual wellbeing' within teacher professional learning and development in recent years. Building on this, they are currently collaborating on the newly coined concept of "Noetic Syntonia". This evolving framework expands on Intellectual Wellbeing, describing it as "a way of being, an artwork of the self" that reflects a commitment to the intellectual, political and theoretical qualities of human experience.
