2 things move markets

Fear & Greed

1.  Faculty expertise in class and lab is being challenged. 2.  Change driver is reduction in information asymmetry. 3.  Changes require deeper approach to faculty development.

Organizations • large, • vertically integrated, • dominated by economies of scale.

Information • di!cult to synthesize, • expensive, • sequestered.

3 missed revolutions

1.  Quality revolution 2.  Entrepreneurial revolution 3.  IT revolution

Many organizations • Smaller, leaner, • Stick to core competence, • Dominated by transaction costs.

Some organizations get big, but not all.

Information • easy to synthesize, • free or cheap, • widely shared.

Information asymmetry reduced.

Returns to expertise reduced.

Witnessing: 10 century consensus of professor’s role undermined.

Centrality of expertise diminished.

If profs no longer valued primarily for expertise, what then?

“THE question”

Exercise

Exercise: Pause Practice

•  Close eyes. •  Take 3 deep

breaths. •  Notice your

emotional-mental state.

What do you notice right now? Discuss with a partner.

Debrief

Centrality of Noticing to Change

•  The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds.

R. D. Laing (1927-‐1989)

Future of the professor uncertain.

“THE question” demands an answer.

3 Stories

Story #1: The first flips.

Eric Mazur, Harvard, Peer Instruction, 1991

“As a result, my teaching assistants and I can address several common misconceptions that

would otherwise go undetected.”

Story #2: Curious Georges

Georges Harik, UIUC, extended compact genetic algorithm, 1993

I “knew” Georges should have been an academic.

George went on to be employee #8 at Google.

Story #3: Being coached & being a coach
