Now it sounds like time to talk about what to do with those elements. (Our commentary here: https://www.edsurge.com/n/2013-01-11-how-to-design-a-new-school)

Knowing which products work best for which learners & under what conditions, and aligning incentives for suppliers to performance is something we’re really interested in. great idea for future post!

We hear from teachers embracing mastery-based models that some students aren’t ready to take ownership. “We didn’t realize how conditioned they are to sit, listen, and regurgitate facts back.” (see blog @ goo.gl/k4wiX) And we know that “cultural inertia” in existing school environments can make it difficult for changes in professional practice that would let students take ownership. There are bodies of research on motivation and organizational culture, and design principles from other disciplines, such online gaming, that are only beginning to be applied to student learning. There is opportunity to more formally address student development of those “non-cognitive” skills that lead to better academic performance. There is much more research to be done to inform the design of personalized motivational feedback loops, differentiated professional roles, and other innovations needed to take student ownership to scale. These may be the “design patterns for learning” that unlock the next leap forward for next generation learning.

How about adding “Pay Vendors for Results” as a design principle?

The vendor(s) providing the technology portion of instruction are only paid if the school’s standardized test scores grow faster than the school district average.
