4. Organizational Structures for the New Paradigm

I see three major parts of a vision of the learner-centered paradigm: organizational structures, instructional systems, and technology systems.  In this section, I chronologically present my work on organizational structures, though some publications below also deal with the other two parts and thus are repeated there.

Annotation: President George H.W. Bush's push to "break the mold" in educational systems spurred the creation of the New American Schools Development Corporation, which unfortunately decided to go with the best of what works now rather than break the mold.  In this 2-pager I describe my positive impressions of their design conference and a few concerns.

Annotation: This article reports some of the results of a study of new paradigm schools.  It identifies common themes found in five exemplary schools.  The study was jointly funded by the Indiana Department of Education and Indiana University.

Annotation: This article updated and elaborated on my 1987 article about what an information-age, learner-centered educational system might be like.  This update resulted from a proposal I submitted to the New American Schools Development Corporation, which was not funded.  Robert Garfinkle and I were co-editors on a special issue on systemic change in education, which was subsequently published as a book.

Annotation: This article was my first major piece about the need for paradigm change in education, relating it to both societal change based on Toffler's work and individual students' needs.  It also was largely derived from my proposal to NASDC and was later published in my book with Robert Garfinkle, Systemic Change in Education.

Annotation: This Chinese language article describes my ideas about what paradigm change is, why it is needed, and what it might be like.

Annotation: This was my first publication about what an information-age, learner-centered educa-tional system might be like.  It was initially published in 1983 as a Working Paper at Syracuse University.
