I get value from each of your blogs — you have a way of cutting through clutter I can certainly learn from. Thank you!

People are so use to the current system that it’s not likely to change any time soon. To me it seems that you take as much time as you need to get to the goal instead of letting a preset amount of time be the driver.

There may have been many reasons initially for K-12 but no the only reason is that it’s always been that way. It’s not enough time for some and way to much for others.

I love it. I have actually thought of this more for G/T students than for the entire population, but I agree that we need to change schools into goal-oriented rather than time-oriented institutions. I just hope that people in the comments section, or you in a future post, can lay out more of what this would actually look like in the classroom. For example:

Say we give every child a computer. Then we need a math website that we trust to take students through every topic they need to know at a particular grade level. As soon as they conquer the website’s levels, they move on up. Is that what we’re headed toward?

Comment on Driving the Waste Out of Training by Steve Rosenbaum

This is an excellent point. Using wrong methodologies or untested ones if they don’t add value they are waste.

Let me add an example that you have touched upon in another post and with which I have a great deal of interest.

Collaboration when not appropriate. To rephrase, to use the collaborative approach as the default. Group learning is not always best, so apply collaboration in the design of training (learning) only when it makes sense regarding the objectives and the learners. There is a lot of temptation to use new collaboration software, to use group problem-solving, to use teams… when using KM programs, teaching an individual, or focusing on an individual is faster. [Of course this works both ways; depending on resources, existence of BKMs, objectives, etc - a collaborative approach might be the appropriate thing.]

I am trying to create a template that uses the same kind of layout as you show here, but I am having trouble finding examples of how to create a template that will let me do that. Do you have any suggestions for me?

thanks!

Comment on Top Leaders vs. Top Performers by Sabra Ehrhart

The genuine “top leader” maximizes the performance of the team. That is often not just maximizing the performance of the top performer.
