When people are buying a new car, they dont ask
how long it took to build, said Bob Wise,
president of the Alliance for Excellent Education
and former governor of West Virginia. Instead,
they ask how well it performs. For too long, the
nations education system has promoted students
based on how long they spent sitting in a
classroom rather than what they have learned. New
Hampshires experience, although still evolving,
holds tremendous promise as an approach for
improving student learning outcomes in a system
that encourages advancement by demonstrating
competency instead of completing seat time.

  interventions until they reach mastery, including
  online tools, one-on-one teacher time, and
  student collaboration

Design Thinking For Educators
Design Thinking is the fundamental belief that we
all can create change no matter how big a
problem, how little or small the budget.
16
In some ways, I have always had elements of
Design Thinking in the way that I have worked and
thought about schools, but I have had no real
process to validate some of my ideas.
