This item is the latest in a series of posts that didn't really catch my attention until now. It's based on the idea of "Horizon Three" or "H3", which is the name for the "future-ready" educational system that follows in sort of a third wave that follows after 'traditional' (H1) and 'efficiency' (H2) learning. The concept is described more fully in this Google Drive PDF document (24 pages). What is it, exactly? It's a lot of stuff we've seen elsewhere, a mix of good and bad, including learner-driven school models, business and community partnerships, national competition for models, publicly funded supplemental and enrichment programs, mastery-based and embedded assessments, student ownership of credentials data, and more (see specifically pages 18 and 19 of the document). This approach is framed in terms of defining philanthropic support for education initiatives (which is why it flew beneath my radar; I usually just think of these as policy advocacy initiatives to find ways to support privatized education systems). Anyhow, worth knowing about.
