John Morevac at Education Futures asks the question:
He hasn’t gotten much of a response because education as a system can’t be innovated. Schools, designed like factories, are set up to maintain order and reject change
The few responses have been about innovations in the way that teachers are thinking about teaching students. Gardner’s intelligences and recognizing learning disabilities may be important but they aren’t school innovations. They are tacked on to school as we know it.
Arne Duncan’s reform is just more of the same.
The new book, Disrupting Class , describes the potential for education innovation from the view of how innovation has worked in business.
Real innovation is going to come out of the corner of our public eye. It’s going to be free, community-driven, paradigm-shifting, and disruptive.
