  1. Thinking like a disruptive innovator Idea conference: this is our time October 2012

  2. What is it about developmental educators?

  3. Let’s consider… • What is disruptive innovation? • Where does it come from? • Why is it important? • How do we do it?

  4. Are you a disruptive innovator? • What caused you to innovate disruptively? • What were the results? • Was your innovation at a local or global level?

  5. What is Disruptive innovation? • From my experience: • Developmental educators ARE disruptive innovators. • Disruptive innovation MUST lead to • Increased reflection and • Sustainable change.

  6. What is the theory of innovative disruption?* • Outside entities innovate to meet new needs not yet realized or accepted. • They apply logical applications systematically that disrupt status quo. • Examples: • Community colleges • For profits • MOOCs *Based on the work of Christensen.

  7. What does it take? • Data AND • A large dose of imagination • Let’s imagine together…2025

  8. checking the data • We know that: • 25% of students graduate from high school on time. • 96% high school students think college is important BUT only 68% enroll. • 60% of 1st time, FT students earn 4-year college degree in 6 years. • 30% of 1st time, FT students earn certificate or A.A. in 3 years. • More than 1/3 college students need remediation. • At CCs, remedial credits = 10% of all credits earned. • As jobs return, more than 60% will require postsecondary preparation and 33% will require a B.A. degree. GOAL: by 2020, U.S. will have world’s largest % of college graduates.

  9. Why is it important? • Because of Fabian • Because of Sonia • Because of Bubby Tomatoes

  10. What is the innovator’s dna?

  11. How do you become a disruptive innovator?*

  12. QUESTION…participatory culture lens* • Are there low barriers to creative expression and active participation? • Is there informal mentoring from experienced to novice? • Is there a sense of connection to each other? • Is there a sense of ownership in what is being created? • Is there a strong sense that contributions matter? • * Based on Henry Jenkins (Official blog: October 20, 2006)

  13. OBSERVE…LEARNER-CENTERED LENS* • Is student prior knowledge helping or hindering? • How are students organizing knowledge? • Are students motivated to determine, direct and sustain their learning? • Are students acquiring skills, practicing integration and applying to develop mastery? • Is there enough goal-directed practice and targeted feedback? • How are current levels of development affecting social, emotional and intellectual climate? • Are students monitoring and adjusting approaches to learning? • *Theory & Research-Based Principles of Learning from Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence : Carnegie Mellon University

  14. Network • Find different perspectives across disciplines and types of institutions. • Create ongoing circles of exchange through professional roundtables. • Move out of comfort zone. • Identify mentor or coach. • Arrange for peer exchange visits. • Get into the workplace.

  15. experiment • On a personal level… • Develop skill modules based on assessments. • Design a competency-based system. • Collaborate across traditional educational boundaries. • Link non-academic skills to content. • “Flip” your classroom.

  16. experiment • On a global level… • Plan systemically. • Develop accelerated/integrated programming. • Include active and intrusive coaching. • Create structure and life maps. • Build timely and personalized data system. • Provide faculty incentives. • (Based on HLC presentation given by Dr. Nassif from DOE.)

  17. Associate and apply* • Connect the 4 behaviors. • Find relationships. • Apply to your learning environment. • *From The Innovator’s DNA, Dyer, Gregerson, Christensen, 2011.

  18. You are a disruptive innovator if you: • Think holistically. • Examine assumptions and test them out. • Are a keen observer. • Act with urgency. • Have the courage to disrupt.
