  1. Disrupting Class Michael B. Horn | mhorn@christenseninstitute.org | Twitter: @christenseninst How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns

  2. What is competency-based learning?

  3. Fixed-time, Variable Learning Traditional education sets fixed times to learning irrespective of competency Deliver content to students Testing & assessment Progress to next grade, subject, or body of material Receive results

  4. Competency-based Learning Learning is fixed and time is variable Offer learning experiences to students Receive real-time interactive feedback Testing & assessment Progress to next body of material

  5. Schools were modeled upon factories Current system was built to standardize

  6. The “Swiss-cheese problem” in education Holes in learning

  7. High-quality competency-based learning A working definition from CompetencyWorks Students advance upon mastery. Competencies include explicit, measurable, transferable learning objectives that empower students. Assessment is meaningful and a positive learning experience for students. Students receive timely, differentiated support based on their individual learning needs. Learning outcomes emphasize competencies that include application and creation of knowledge, along with the development of important skills and dispositions.

  8. Common Core and the new assessments 4 questions that competency-based learning could solve Will the new assessments be truly different from what we have today? Will the assessments doom the Common Core because of their length? Will states be able to handle the costs associated with the next-generation assessments? Will states stick with the Common Core after the first year of results?

  9. Breaking the assessment tradeoff Assessments can be used for instruction and accountability The old model Formative assessments vs. Summative assessments The new model Moderating assessments Bite-sized Capstone projects Think Western Governors with systems of assessments

  10. Policy: Move beyond old metrics Rethinking inputs and outcomes Free up Inputs Seat time Standardization Student:teacher ratios Geographic boundaries Traditional teacher certification, human resource pipeline, PD & evaluation Focus on Student Outcomes Individual student growth College and career-ready standards Proficiency Closing achievement gap Graduation rates

  11. Policy: Create conditions for innovation & quality Funding, Portfolios, and Infrastructure Infrastructure Adequate broadband/wireless On-demand assessments Transparent, student-level data Funding Dollars follow students = self-sustaining Based on outcomes, but not all or nothing Portfolio Approach Marketplace of choices Multiple authorizers

  12. RESOURCES: People, technology, products, facilities, equipment, brands, and cash that are required to deliver this value proposition to the targeted customers PROCESSES: Ways of working together to address recurrent tasks in a consistent way: training, development, manufacturing, budgeting, planning, etc. THE VALUE PROPOSITION: A product that helps customers do more effectively, conveniently & affordably a job they’ve been trying to do REVENUE FORMULA: Assets & fixed cost structure, and the margins & velocity required to cover them What is a business model? And why does it lock us in?

Corporations do. What is a business model? And why does it lock us in?

  15. Different Learning Needs At Different Times

  16. The Rise of K-12 Blended Learning Definition of blended learning A formal education program in which a student learns at least in part through online learning, with some element of student control over time, place, path and/or pace at least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home (such as school). The modalities along each student’s learning path within a course or subject are connected to provide an integrated learning experience. 100010001111010101000 100010001111010101000

  17. Blended Learning is not…

  18. Benefits of online and blended learning Personalization

  19. Benefits of online and blended learning Personalization through Modularity

  20. Benefits of online and blended learning Personalization Data and Feedback

  21. Benefits of online and blended learning Individualization Teacher Effectiveness Data and Feedback

  22. Benefits of Blended Learning for Teachers Eager students Better information Team teaching Extended time with students Individualized PD plans Motivate hard to reach kids More leadership roles More earning power Focus on deeper learning New options to teach at home

  23. Improved Conditions • Reduced isolation and new opportunities for collaboration • Better student data • Time efficiency • Less grading and busy work • Role differentiation

  24. Disaggregated Staffing Models • New opportunities: • Teacher specialization • Extend the reach of best teachers • Career growth opportunities
