On the story of success…

In writing about the story of success

of the most wealthiest, Gladwell

explains, “If you were born in the late

1840’s you missed it. You were too

young to take advantage of that

moment. If you were born in the

1820’s you were too old: your mind-

set was shaped by the pre-Civil War

paradigm. But there was a particular,

narrow nine-year period window that

was just perfect for seeing the

potential that the future held.” (p. 62)

Similar to the industrial revolution, from

the years 2000-2010, the world went

through another revolution – The

Information Revolution - where

advancements in technology have

fundamentally changed they way people

live, work, and learn. If you were born in

the 1990’s you really had the potential

for great opportunities in public

education, but sadly the mind-set of your

teachers and school leaders was shaped

by a different time period, therefore you

pretty much missed that wave.

OUR INFORMATION LANDSCAPE HAS DRASTICALLY CHANGED

We need to somehow change faster.

I don’t even know, what I don’t know!

How can I increase my rate of discovery?How do school become innovation engines?

Teacher of the Future?

The Teacher of the Future will have to employ:

• Collaborative approach

• Tech-Powered pedagogy

• Blended learning

Teachers must accept:• Teacher-student relationships will change• Teachers will shift away from the “owners” of

information to facilitators and guides to learning• They must find different ways to use class time• Inviting introverted students to participate via online • Global perspectives for students• Different approaches to teaching being used in the

same classroom

The Teaching Profession must change:

• Changes to Collective Bargaining Agreements (Edupreneurs)

• Changes to Teacher Preparation Programs (starting now)

Pathways and goal setting for students

Each community based school will need to address the future of education in their individual ways. Government should only provide guidelines through Common Core; however, each community should address how to get to the finish line.
