The new paradigm “Design Schools”

#1

Old Paradigm: Select a single field of study.

New Paradigm: Combine knowledge from multiple disciplines to

create a powerful, unique mix. Design your curricula.

#2

Old Paradigm: So called “Industrial Line Model”.

New Paradigm: Keep your options open, stay location

independent. Design your physical and contextual premises.

#3

Old Paradigm: Commit to a long term time horizon while having

little clue how your field works in the real world.

New paradigm: Commit to a shorter time horizon, reevaluate using

hands-on experience with your field. Design your school program

of study.

#4

Old Paradigm: Have your teachers “assigned” to you with little room

for choice.

New Paradigm: Pick the best teacher you can find for each subject.

Design the Staff.

#5

Old Paradigm: Focus on the theoretical over the practical,

memorization over problem-solving.

New Paradigm: Focus on the practical and solving real problems (but

study valuable theory). Design the Methodology.
