NYC Innovation Zone (iZone) - Project on Social Innovation | Stacey Gillett | Personalize Learning (#plearnchat) | Scoop.it

From Stacey Gillett, Deputy Chief of Innovation at the NYC Department of Education’s Office of Innovation, who takes a look at the iZone in NYC illustrates where inner city schools are transforming to more personalized and flexible learning environments.  In this blog she points out how our economy needs to rethink how we define learning and the classroom environment by asking these questions:

 

> Where, when, and how does learning happen?

> What do students need to learn?

> How does a student learn best, and how do we reorganize schools to accommodate the individual needs and strengths of students?

 

The iZone has shown that a more personalized learning environment can be accomplished through four primary levers.

 

> Providing dedicated resources.

> Facilitating a community  of like-minded innovators.

> Advocating reforms that facilitate inniovation.

> Sharing best practices and lessons learned.

Why is Change and Transforming Education so Complex?

Why is Change and Transforming Education so Complex? | Personalize Learning (#plearnchat) | Scoop.it
From www.personalizelearning.com - April 29, 2015 12:28 PM
Change is complex. This post describes the process and the five reasons and reactions that people might have to change.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:

Changing or transforming any system especially in education is not an easy thing to do. If you are part of a system that most of us grew up in and are used to, it doesn't take much to keep your school or district from moving to a successful Personalized Learning System. The change process is so complex that even if you agree and are working on transforming the system, there may be one piece of the puzzle that is missing that keeps change from happening.


This visual from Sylvia Duckworth makes it easy for us to interpret and evaluate the change process that is referred to at the bottom of this post. These images visualize the reactions people have during the change process. If the leadership team and others working on transforming their system, they can monitor and consider what needs to be done to get a derailed changed strategy back on track.
