MCL Heating Up

Published Wednesday, February 2, 2011 by Chuck Schwahn in  

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 MCL is about changing the very (and the very outdated) structure of schools.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)

    I am currently taking a class that is doing a book study on this book. I have found it very enlightening. I am through Chapter 8 so far. One of my concerns is, as a special educator, where do students with learning disabilities fit into this model? I love the idea of self-motivated learners and I would love to be one of the pioneers in carrying this out, but I'm not sure how it would work with the un-motivated or struggling learner?

    Air conditioning systems allow you to enjoy your perfect indoor temperature in any of the rooms within your home. It kept cool and comfortable throughout the warmest of summer nights. Our Air Cleaner business is one of them.
