Chad Pregracke - Extraordinary People Changing the Game - 0 views

  •  
    Chad Pregracke is definitely not shying away from getting his hands dirty in the name of water conservation. Since he was 17 years old, Chad has been cleaning up trash in the Mississippi River-which happens to be his backyard-singlehandedly at first when no one seemed to care. He is living proof of the adage "leading by example." A teenager on a mission to clean up the second longest river in the United States sure makes Chad different-in a good way. After founding Living Lands & Waters Foundation, Chad has never slowed down his barge. To read more about Chad Pregracke visit www.thextraordinary.org

  • Decentralized systems have proven to be more productive and agile than rigid, top-down ones
  • Teachers provide prompts, not answers, and then they step aside
  • We don’t openly profess those values nowadays, but our educational system—which routinely tests kids on their ability to recall information and demonstrate mastery of a narrow set of skills—doubles down on the view that students are material to be processed, programmed, and quality-tested. School administrators prepare curriculum standards and “pacing guides” that tell teachers what to teach each day. Legions of managers supervise everything that happens in the classroom; in 2010 only 50 percent of public school staff members in the US were teachers.

  • In 1970 the top three skills required by the Fortune 500 were the three Rs: reading, writing, and arithmetic. In 1999 the top three skills in demand were teamwork, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills
  • And yet the dominant model of public education is still fundamentally rooted in the industrial revolution that spawned it, when workplaces valued punctuality, regularity, attention, and silence above all else.
  • “schools in the cloud,”
  • There will be no teachers, curriculum, or separation into age groups—just six or so computers and a woman to look after the kids’ safety. His defining principle: “The children are completely in charge.”
  • as the kids blasted through the questions, they couldn’t help noticing that it felt easy, as if they were being asked to do something very basic.

    Must. Read. Such a valuable lesson and another example of how we are doing it wrong.

Cheque Truncation System (CTS) INDIA - 0 views

    CTS will bring in huge benefits to customers by substantially reducing the time taken to clear the cheques as well as to the banks by increasing operational efficiency by cutting down on overheads in physical cheque clearing by using cheque image, instead of the physical cheque. The cheque image is truncated at the presenting bank. Subsequently, the cheque image moves through various steps in the cheque-clearing cycle and transactions are settled on the basis of images and the data.
