I Am Not An Expert!

• I am not smarter than you…..

• I have a different job…….

• I do not have all the answers……

“The future is not some place

we are going to, but one we are creating.

The paths are not found, but made, and the activity of

making them changes both the maker and the

destination.”--John Schaar

The one size fits all school that took its present shape in the 1930’s was a poor fit with the reality even then. In the twenty first century, it belongs in our romantic memories of once upon a time. John I. Goodlad

Do You Really Believe…

• We just need to be a little bit better?

• New Standards and assessment is all the change we need?

• Students are getting what they need to be successful in the 21st Century?

“Ideals not Norms”

Page 12: Creating the Education System We Need : Closing the Gaps Raymond J. McNulty, Senior Fellow, ICLE Chief Learning Officer, Penn Foster Ray.McNulty@PennFoster.edu.

The primary aim of education is not to enable students to do well in school, but to help them do well in the lives they lead outside of school.

Against all odds you create

breakthrough.

Page 15: Creating the Education System We Need : Closing the Gaps Raymond J. McNulty, Senior Fellow, ICLE Chief Learning Officer, Penn Foster Ray.McNulty@PennFoster.edu.

Systems are challenged today like never before and the key challenge that we face is results.

Page 16: Creating the Education System We Need : Closing the Gaps Raymond J. McNulty, Senior Fellow, ICLE Chief Learning Officer, Penn Foster Ray.McNulty@PennFoster.edu.

In an environment driven by results, the best

strategy is to “DEVELOP YOUR PEOPLE.”

Broaden the definition of learning in your system to include adults.

Page 17: Creating the Education System We Need : Closing the Gaps Raymond J. McNulty, Senior Fellow, ICLE Chief Learning Officer, Penn Foster Ray.McNulty@PennFoster.edu.

The focus must be on the way we work.

– Cooperation is what was valued in the past. It is about efficiency: “You do this and I will do that.”

– Collaboration is where we should focus. It is about shared creation and shared solutions, in which the focus is not on the process but on the specific results, and everyone in the system has responsibility for the results.

Page 18: Creating the Education System We Need : Closing the Gaps Raymond J. McNulty, Senior Fellow, ICLE Chief Learning Officer, Penn Foster Ray.McNulty@PennFoster.edu.

Making a better “20th Century School”

is not the answer.

Ray, reading the paper on your “Kindle” or online just

isn’t the same!

Almost everyone wants schools to be better,

but almost no one wants them to be different.

Why did apps succeed?

• Apps are personal and niche.• Users customize their smartphones with

the apps that appeal to them most, often sharing their favorites with friends.

• Apps are interactive.

Our History

Thomas J. Foster

• In 1890, Thomas J. Foster identified an

untapped market of blue collar workers

looking to improve their lives and offered

distance learning as a way to achieve these

outcomes

• Mission: “Provide practical men with a

technical education and technical men with

a practical education.”

• His courses opened the door to job

advancement and an improved

socioeconomic status for the students

"You don't have to change the student population to get results; you simply have to change the conditions under

which they learn." - Pedro Noguera

Education

If you are focused on seat time you are focused on

the wrong end of the student.

Education

The education industry thinks technology adds

cost; all other industries use technology to drive

down costs.

Page 57: Creating the Education System We Need : Closing the Gaps Raymond J. McNulty, Senior Fellow, ICLE Chief Learning Officer, Penn Foster Ray.McNulty@PennFoster.edu.

EducationEducation does everything that it always has and then bolts on technology, which is where the added cost comes from. Other industries use technology to

change the way they do things, which is where the cost savings

comes from.

The Fundamental Attribution Error

When looking at our own behavior, we tend to view the situation in the environment that surrounds our action.

When looking at the behavior of others, we make assumptions about their personal qualities.

• We live in a world obsessed with predictability and control, some people believe that if we can’t truly measure something it must not matter.

• We must consider the possibility that if we can’t truly measure something, it may be the most important thing.
