Agenda
Setting the Stage
The primary aim of
education is not to enable
students to do well in
school, but to help them
do well in the lives they
lead outside of school.
Education is not preparation for life; It is life itself.
• John Dewey
Would you agree with me, that the pace of
change is amazingly fast?
Well, the pace of change today will be the
slowest it will be for the rest of your life!

We Live in a VUCA World!

A Growth Mindset for Everyone in the System
Innovation is Essential/Next Practices
Compass Not a Map
There is no Finish Line
Transformation is necessary
Without “transformation” all we are getting in our schools is the digitization of past practice!
The hardest part of change is not accepting the new….
It’s in letting go of the old!
Our biggest challenge is..
The “Status Quo”
We can’t build
the future by
perfecting the past!
Change almost never fails
because it is too early.
It almost always fails
because it is too late.
Agenda
Education Landscape
Learning Has Changed Forever
eLearning isn’t the only way: Learners want to learn from multiple devices
Learners are ignoring books and learning from smartphones
Learners are learning in different ways, mostly at the point of need
Learners prefer self-paced learning, so search engines are very popular
Learners want quality information, but also value speed and convenience
Learners are prioritizing their own professional development
In the World of Education We Are Currently Witnessing an
Epic Collision of Many Trends

• Explosive Growth in Technology

Technology
Technology cannot do everything humans can do.
Technology is good at convergent thinking.
It is not good at divergent thinking.
“Humanics”
Uniquely human literacies such as creativity, entrepreneurship, ethics, cultural agility and the ability to work with others..
Self-directed learning
Technical literacies such as coding and data analytics.
Humanics
Consider “Content Moderation” at Facebook and other social media sites.
Technology can’t understand if a user is posting a racist review or is describing racist behavior.

Almost everyone wants schools to be better,
but almost no one wants them to be different!
First Different - Then Better
What kind of education
is needed
at this moment in
history?
First practice must change, then results,
then policy.

Learning has expanded
at a rate that has
far outpaced our
conceptions of teaching.
Agenda
A New Model
HOW DO YOU LEARN?
How most school systems are designed
and how most of us were trained.
1 2 3PERVASIVE
CURRENT MODEL Content: Process: Mindset:
Standards Teach, Practice, Test “Will it be on
the test?”
Process drives mindset drives content.
The mindsets of the learner enable absorption of content.
1 2 3 NEXT GEN
LEARNING Process:
Personalized,
experiential,
Mindset:
“I am learning
with purpose.”
Content:
Richer/deeper definitions
of student success
discovery, embedded,
authentic
Self-Learning
I tweeted this recently…
A teacher who teaches a
student to learn without them,
prepares the student for
success in the 21st century…. @Ray_McNulty
“In the next 20 years, power will shift to the customer –
for the simple reason that the customer now has full access to
information worldwide.”
-Peter Drucker
Perhaps a change in how we think?
How would I teach this?
How would I learn this?

SELF-HELP
Dependence
Pedagogy
Children’s Learning Androgogy
Adults’ Learning Heutagogy
Self-directed Learning
The learner is a
dependant personality.
Teacher determines
what, how, and when
anything is learned.
Adults are independent.
They strive for autonomy
and self-direction in
learning.
Learners are
independent. They
identify the potential to
learn from unique
experiences as a matter
of course. They are able
to manage their own
learning.
Motivation
Pedagogy
Children’s Learning Androgogy
Adults’ Learning Heutagogy
Self-directed Learning
Motivation comes from
external sources - usually
parents, teachers, and a
sense of competition.
Motivation stems from
internal sources - the
increased self-esteem,
confidence, and
recognition that come
from successful
performance.
Self-efficacy, knowing
how to learn, creativity,
ability to use these
qualities in novel as well
as familiar situations and
working with others.
Role of The Teacher
Pedagogy
Children’s Learning Androgogy
Adults’ Learning Heutagogy
Self-directed Learning
Designs the learning
process, imposes
material, and is assumed
to know best.
Enabler or facilitator,
climate of collaboration,
respect, and openness.
Develop the learner’s
capability to:
● Know how to learn
● Create
● Have a high degree of
self-efficacy
● Apply competencies
● Work with others

The Big Mistake
• They define themselves by what they do, rather than what they “provide”.
• You limit your ability to innovate if you define yourself by what you do.

ADVICE
Perfection is the enemy of success!
Entryways change at different points on the curve. While mindsets, processes, and content are optimally connected and reinforcing in a continuous
cycle, we believe educators and education systems use different points in that cycle as entryways,
depending on where they are in the Adoption Curve. We believe this understanding is crucial to
maximizing NGPL for impact.
the way to next gen content
Innovators Early Adopters Early Majority Late Majority
2.5% 13.5% 34% 34%
Trailers
16%
Early Adopters/Assemblers:
PROCESS > MINDSETS > CONTENT
(overt)
Early adopters look for a process to
engage content, but that process shifts
mindsets first.
Early and Late Majority:
CONTENT > PROCESS > MINDSETS > CONTENT
(covert)
Early/late majority look for content and recognizable
entryways but can use NGPL to absorb process on
Innovators:
MINDSETS > PROCESS >
CONTENT
Innovators come in with the mindsets,
then work on their process to engage
content meaningfully.
