Amplifying my flex-pert skills and 2REV’s work……

Goals for My Time:

1. Quick tour of the current state of American Education

2. Convince you that fixing it is both urgent and doable – and that we’re at the beginning of a tectonic shift that’s just underway

3. Demonstrate why design matters – and introduce our Future of Learning Framework, platform, networks, and nodes as to how we do our work

4. Roll up our sleeves to learn, play, and work together

What problem are you trying to solve?

2Rev’s short-cycle innovation process is informed by cross-industry lessons.

Design Thinking

Google Innovation “Drivers”

Networked Improvement Communities

Carnegie Foundation for Advancement of Teaching uses NICs to analyze what

works, for whom, under what circumstances; Plan-Do-

Study-Act; learn together, improve together

Google celebrates these principles of innovation:• be open to ideas from

everywhere• launch early and often• cultivate innovation with

small teams in a shared workspace

• have a broad mission• Stay engineering driven

to foster innovation• hire smart people who

get things done• managing is the means,

not the goal

IHI relies on a 90-day cycle to drive P&G’s innovation process; focus on a clearly stated problem or a specific

question that needs to be answered; innovate in groups; define a specific timeframe and set of potential next

step outcomes

Trends Fueling Urgency to Design the Future of Learning

• Widespread dissatisfaction

• Increased economic pressure

• Networks, nodes, and learning ecosystems

• Explosive growth in technology

• Shifting policy environments

• Science of cognition

• Drive towards personalization
