  • Given the enormous impact that technology has had on nearly every other aspect of our society, how can that be?
  • Today our collective vision for education is broader, our nation is more complex and diverse, and our technical capabilities are more powerful. But we continue to assume the factory-model classroom and its rigid bell schedules, credit requirements, age-based grade levels, and physical specifications when we talk about school reform.
  • our focus should primarily be to design new classroom models that take advantage of what these tools can do.

  • understanding what it is we want students to be able to do, the measures of success, the resources we have to work with, and our own sense of possibility.
  • Different schools may take different approaches to combining these components
  • The Information Age has facilitated a reinvention of nearly every industry except for education. It's time to unhinge ourselves from many of the assumptions that undergird how we deliver instruction and begin to design new models that are better able to leverage talent, time, and technology to best meet the unique needs of each student

  • “single best idea for reforming K-12 education”.
  • Root cause: factory model of management
