Overview article describing how education is (and should be) adapting. Chris Dede writes, "Theory and evidence show the benefits of using innovative teaching strategies based on current knowledge about learning. These next-generation instructional models are characterized by:
- utilizing collaborative, guided learning-by-doing to complement passive learning-by-assimilation;
- providing students agency to include their personal interests in what they are learning, and infusing these into the curriculum to be covered;
- complementing high-stakes tests with diagnostic/formative assessments that measure a broad range of knowledge and skills useful in life; and
- involving many types of people as "teachers" in various life settings of students, extending learning outside the classroom and beyond the school day."
He continues, "educational models based on these strategies and implemented by well-prepared teachers produce outcomes that are more equitable and effective, as well as better suited to what students need for success in life."
