AASA Convention

I have the opportunity to talk to people at the AASA convention about Leadership, Learning Communities, and Mass Customized Learning in Denver on Friday, February 18. Come join Bill Spady and me at 2:30 and listen and learn about our truly transformational vision for public schools. Tis our professions opportunity to leapfrog the Industrial age delivery of student learning opportunities. (cjs)

MCL Heating Up

Education is on the front burner. From Waiting for Superman, Obama and the State of the Union address, to everywhere on the Internet. And, people are beginning to use the term "Mass Customized Learning." Remember, we were first . . . and also know that MCL is . . . well, . . . Inevitable.


MCL requires transformation, and not a "tinkering" change. A check point . . . any educational change that retains the Industrial Age Assembly Line instructional delivery system has not "transformed" education, and cannot truthfully be labeled Mass Customized Learning. MCL is about changing the very (and the very outdated) structure of schools. All the while focusing on the learner and asking and answering the question, "If this is the outcome we want our learners to demonstrate, how is it best learned." Now THAT is the professional's question! (cjs)
