This is a continuation of a conversation with Thomas Arnett from earlier this fall that talks about educational innovation and the necessity to create new value networks.   Take a read of the report he wrote.

I've had Thomas Arnett on the podcast before to talk about Innovation in Education, but this conversation stems from an article I really enjoyed entitled "New Value Networks: The missing piece in the K-12 disruption equation." I hope that you will read it and take a listen to this podcast conversation, and keep an eye out for more from and with Thomas.   Thomas Arnett is a senior research fellow for the Clayton Christensen Institute. His work focuses on using the Theory of Disruptive Innovation to study innovative instructional models and their potential to scale student-centered learning in K–12 education. He also studies demand for innovative resources and practices across the K–12 education system using the Jobs to Be Done Theory.

During the height of the coronavirus pandemic, many parents opted or were directed by their children's schools to enroll students in online learning. However, for a number of reasons – including students feeling lonely, the online model often requiring heavy involvement by parents in the learning process, and the practicalities of caregivers needing to return to work – online learning hasn't gained longer-term traction but is instead seen by many families as a short-term solution during challenging times. Observing these trends, and wanting also to help break the connection between geography and educational outcomes, Amar Kumar saw an opportunity to build a new company, KaiPod Learning. As Founder & CEO, Amar makes a distinction between “Zoom School”, which many students around the world experienced in one form or another over the past two years, and a true online learning experience. Hosted by The Christensen Institute's Thomas Arnett, they discuss the Jobs To Be Done of different stakeholders in K-12 education; issues surrounding access to high-quality learning; the role that schools play in society; the new educational model that Amar and his team are building at KaiPod Learning; the future of online education, and more!

Tom Arnett is Senior Research Fellow – Education at The Clayton Christensen Institute, where he studies instructional models and demand for innovative resources and practices across the K-12 education system. In this episode, he joins host Michael Horn to dig into his latest research, sharing insights on what Clay's frameworks can tell us about recent developments in online learning and also how the incorporation of new techniques in K-12 schooling models might evolve as we slowly emerge from the pandemic. For instance, can lessons learned on what not to do with online learning help to ignite its adoption going forward? How are teachers thinking about their instructional models in a world rocked by pandemic disruption? How have school systems' RPPs affected their response to the pandemic? And will schools work to reinvent their business models to accommodate changing stakeholder expectations or will K-12 schools remain largely unchanged in the longer term? Listen to this engaging conversation to hear Tom's thoughts on these important questions and more!

This week on The Disruptive Voice, we are delighted to bring you a conversation, recorded in early March, with Thomas Arnett. Thomas is a Senior Research Fellow - Education at the Clayton Christensen Institute, where he researches disruption in K-12 education, considers the role of educational technology in blended learning teaching models, and contributes to thought leadership on legislation and policies related to digital learning, teacher preparation, and teacher development. Previously, Thomas served as Board President at the Morgan Hill Unified School District, worked as an Education Pioneers Fellow with Achievement First, and was a middle school math teacher at Teach For America in Kansas City, Missouri. Given the national experiment in online education that has begun in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, with schools across the country transitioning to online learning, this conversation has become even more timely. In this episode, Thomas shares insights on the limits of disruption within the K-12 ecosystem, discusses the Jobs that teachers hire educational technology to do, and reflects on his time as a teacher in Kansas City, among other things. He is hosted by Christopher Diak, Program Assistant at The Forum for Growth & Innovation and a candidate for the M.Div. at Harvard Divinity School.   

Chapter 1

Well this past week, some of the top decision-makers when it comes to setting out the future of education came to Vancouver for a conference hosted by the OECD. And this prompted us to find out a little more - because with so much innovation - whether it's through technology or otherwise - the way this generation of children, and the next, will be taught, is going to be much different than anything that's gone before. So what does that future look like? Just before we came on-air, I spoke with Thomas Arnett, Senior Research Fellow, at the Clayton Christensen Institute in California. He's written extensively on this topic. Here's our conversation. Guest: Thomas Arnett Senior Research Fellow, at the Clayton Christensen Institute in California

In his new report Thomas Arnett states, "the success of any school improvement hinges on teachers;" however later in the report he also states, "one key reason most school-improvement initiatives struggle to gain traction is that they are coercive." This podcast conversation delves deeper into the research Tom did with Bob Moesta and Michael Horn entitled "The Teacher's Quest for Progress: How school leaders can motivate instructional innovation" https://www.christenseninstitute.org/publications/teachers-jobs-to-be-done/  

Thomas Arnett is an educational innovator and researcher for the Christian Instutite, and I had a conversation with him about how technology should and can amplify, magnify, and maximize the teacher effect in learning rather than replace it. Tom states in an article,  Great teachers are the most valuable resource in our education system. And expert teachers’ work is unlikely to be reduced to standardized procedures or automated algorithms anytime soon. Yet, ensuring that every student has access to excellent teaching is not a trivial task. Fortunately, as innovations simplify and automate distinct aspects of teaching, both effective and less-effective teachers will see their capabilities enhanced by computers.

Joining us today on the podcast is Thomas Arnett, a research fellow at the Clayton Christensen Institute in the San Francisco Bay Area. His research focuses on the changing roles of teachers in blended learning environments and innovative educational models. The Clayton Christensen Institute is a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank dedicated to improving the world through disruptive innovation. Founded on the theories of Harvard professor Clayton Christensen, the Institute offers a unique framework for understanding many of society’s most pressing issues around education, healthcare, and economic prosperity. The podcast is produced by Red Cup Agency. The interviewer is Lee Schneider.

Can professional development for teachers be personalized? Michael Horn joins EdNext editor-in-chief Marty West to discuss a new way of doing professional development. Teachers identify the skills they want to acquire, receive specialized training, and are certified as having these new competencies, receiving a micro-credential, something akin to a merit badge.
