Sturgeon’s Law?
• Do you want to be:
• Above-average?
• Top 10%?
• Top 1%?• Are you sure? [“stand up”]

Assessing Impact
• What are we looking for?– Show that something changed?– Something positive? – Or actual, useful feedback on our performance?– (hint: this is what the best programs do)– (and in fact, assessment is part of course design)
![Page 5: Assessing the Impact of Education: Are We Moving the Needle? How Would We Know? (and what does all this really mean?) Norris Krueger Entrepreneurship Northwest.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb85503460f9497e0c5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What do the best programs do?
• What does anyone do???
• Usual suspects? (What do YOU do?)
![Page 6: Assessing the Impact of Education: Are We Moving the Needle? How Would We Know? (and what does all this really mean?) Norris Krueger Entrepreneurship Northwest.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb85503460f9497e0c5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What could we do?
• Outputs?• Throughputs?
• Behaviors (ours and theirs)• Cognitive or “non-cognitive”
– Knowledge; Skills– Life skills/attributes
• DEEP cognitive change?

But…..
• What IS the “entrepreneurial mindset”?
• How would we know if it is changing?
![Page 9: Assessing the Impact of Education: Are We Moving the Needle? How Would We Know? (and what does all this really mean?) Norris Krueger Entrepreneurship Northwest.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb85503460f9497e0c5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Sorry… there’s homework
• For now…
• When you think about the entrepreneurial mindset – not skills, not info… Think DEEPER. How would you know someone had a more expert mindset?
• What is different specifically?
![Page 10: Assessing the Impact of Education: Are We Moving the Needle? How Would We Know? (and what does all this really mean?) Norris Krueger Entrepreneurship Northwest.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb85503460f9497e0c5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Copernican Revolution(s)?
• Converging today….
How do humans actually learn important stuff?
Practitioners leading the way
Online/blended tools
Moving from Novice to Expert
(don’t you want to create experts?)
Assessment!
![Page 11: Assessing the Impact of Education: Are We Moving the Needle? How Would We Know? (and what does all this really mean?) Norris Krueger Entrepreneurship Northwest.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb85503460f9497e0c5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Experts’ Obsessions
• Obsess over developing a truly entrepreneurial mindset– Not “stuff”– Not “skills”– Business models NOT plans
• Obsess over deep co-immersion with the entrepreneurial community (a/k/a “Ecosystem”)
![Page 12: Assessing the Impact of Education: Are We Moving the Needle? How Would We Know? (and what does all this really mean?) Norris Krueger Entrepreneurship Northwest.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb85503460f9497e0c5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What drives great things in…
• Startup Weekend, Lean Launchpad, TechStars?• exactly these twin obsessions
• Best technology commercialization programs? exactly this
• The most successful entrepreneurial ecosystems? (e.g. Boulder or SV)
• exactly this
• The A++ Entrepreneurship Programs exactly this
![Page 13: Assessing the Impact of Education: Are We Moving the Needle? How Would We Know? (and what does all this really mean?) Norris Krueger Entrepreneurship Northwest.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb85503460f9497e0c5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What the best programs do…
• 1. Focus on mindset.. but not as buzzword• 2. Connecting students to ecosystem• 3. Connecting ourselves even more deeply• 4. And make connections two-way
• “Engagement” –> Immersion
• Immersion -> CO-immersion!
• ACTION!
• Uh… maybe we should measure these?

Novice ExpertEntrepreneurial
Mindset
Critical Developmental Experiences
Change in WHAT we know (content)
Change in HOW we know it (knowledge structures)
Change in Deep Beliefs
![Page 16: Assessing the Impact of Education: Are We Moving the Needle? How Would We Know? (and what does all this really mean?) Norris Krueger Entrepreneurship Northwest.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb85503460f9497e0c5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Consider “lean startup”
• Validate biz model… sure, but also..• Change mindset at a deep level
• Startup Weekend, TechStars– Full immersion
• Peer support• Personal reflection
– Co-Immersion with ecosystem• Expert mentors• Ecosystem feedback
– Who & what is guiding all this?– And how do we assess ?

10,000 hours?
![Page 18: Assessing the Impact of Education: Are We Moving the Needle? How Would We Know? (and what does all this really mean?) Norris Krueger Entrepreneurship Northwest.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb85503460f9497e0c5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
WB Yeats
“Learning is not about filling a pail;
it’s about lighting a fire.”
(but where does the spark come from?)
![Page 19: Assessing the Impact of Education: Are We Moving the Needle? How Would We Know? (and what does all this really mean?) Norris Krueger Entrepreneurship Northwest.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb85503460f9497e0c5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Two Ways to Learn
• Behavioristic• - fill the bucket
• -define the buckets•
• Constructivistic• - light the fire (or fan it!)
• - assume knowledge structures evolve• (often discontinuously)
![Page 20: Assessing the Impact of Education: Are We Moving the Needle? How Would We Know? (and what does all this really mean?) Norris Krueger Entrepreneurship Northwest.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb85503460f9497e0c5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Learners create their own buckets…
– through…
• personal reflection,• peer mentoring, • expert mentoring• ….based on authentic questions
• “Experience is not what happens to you, it is
what you do with what happens.”
-Epictetus
![Page 21: Assessing the Impact of Education: Are We Moving the Needle? How Would We Know? (and what does all this really mean?) Norris Krueger Entrepreneurship Northwest.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb85503460f9497e0c5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
the best programs…
• Provide multiple CDEs• Make sure learners take away the right lessons• CCL example• Why not for entrepreneurship?
![Page 22: Assessing the Impact of Education: Are We Moving the Needle? How Would We Know? (and what does all this really mean?) Norris Krueger Entrepreneurship Northwest.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb85503460f9497e0c5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What we are should be doing
• Skills• Knowledge
• Improving Intent
• Mindset• Changing Deep
Beliefs• Novice
Expert
• Improving ACTION
![Page 23: Assessing the Impact of Education: Are We Moving the Needle? How Would We Know? (and what does all this really mean?) Norris Krueger Entrepreneurship Northwest.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb85503460f9497e0c5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

So what IS this “entrepreneurial mindset” anyway??
• Crowdsourced list• Thoughts? Which are the hardest to change?
– (More important for here... what can we measure?)Seeing opportunities, yes, but…• Seeing self as entrepreneur (role identity)• Strategic thinking• Dot-connecting / pattern recognition• Effectual thinking (bricolage, improv)• Optimist (attributional)• Metacognition• Counterfactual thinking• Bias for action (vs. FoF!)• Value creation as sine qua non (Market-pull?)
![Page 25: Assessing the Impact of Education: Are We Moving the Needle? How Would We Know? (and what does all this really mean?) Norris Krueger Entrepreneurship Northwest.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb85503460f9497e0c5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
the “new” role of instructors
![Page 26: Assessing the Impact of Education: Are We Moving the Needle? How Would We Know? (and what does all this really mean?) Norris Krueger Entrepreneurship Northwest.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb85503460f9497e0c5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
MORE homework
• Remember that one change that contributes to a more entrepreneurial mindset – what’s different?
• How would you know if it changed?• How would you measure that?
![Page 27: Assessing the Impact of Education: Are We Moving the Needle? How Would We Know? (and what does all this really mean?) Norris Krueger Entrepreneurship Northwest.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb85503460f9497e0c5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
….and…
• What CDE would YOU give learners the opportunity to make that change?
• And how would you know that learners took away the right lessons?
![Page 28: Assessing the Impact of Education: Are We Moving the Needle? How Would We Know? (and what does all this really mean?) Norris Krueger Entrepreneurship Northwest.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649cb85503460f9497e0c5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Accelerating Learning• Problem-Based Learning (“authentic”
questions)
• Two overlapping themes:• IMMERSION – Action before thinking• MENTORING – Learn the right lessons
– Expert mentors [and I do mean expert]– Peer mentors– Or THREE? Supportive ecosystem?– Social infrastructure; cognitive infrastructure– http://bit/ly/EcoSys
