Key Points in this Post:

1. Learning systems in schools differ from learning systems at work
2. The content is different
3. The context is different
4. The complexity is different, specifically about promotion criteria

Question explored: Is it time to assess the current K-12 education system paradigm in order to adapt to the future of work?

Themes:

1. A learner’s ability to articulate their own learning struggle is a skill worth developing
2. A learning leader’s ability to facilitate the discussion to articulate specific learning obstacles is essential
3. Specificity about “the problem” mitigates the risk of a “poor solution” being implemented

Question explored:  Is it acceptable if some learners fail? What are the tradeoffs and possibilities?
