قال الله تعالى

 {  إِنَّ اللَّــهَ لا يُغَيِّــرُ مَـا بِقَــوْمٍ حَتَّــى يُـغَيِّـــرُوا مَــا بِــأَنْــفُسِــــهِـمْ  }

سورة  الرعد  .  الآيـة   :   11

ahlaa

" ليست المشكلة أن نعلم المسلم عقيدة هو يملكها، و إنما المهم أن نرد إلي هذه العقيدة فاعليتها و قوتها الإيجابية و تأثيرها الإجتماعي و في كلمة واحدة : إن مشكلتنا ليست في أن نبرهن للمسلم علي وجود الله بقدر ما هي في أن نشعره بوجوده و نملأ به نفسه، بإعتباره مصدرا للطاقة. "
-  المفكر الجزائري المسلم الراحل الأستاذ مالك بن نبي رحمه الله  -

If You Want To Improve Education, You Need To Unscale It

Education reform needs a new strategy that takes advantage of the forces that allow startup companies like Warby Parker or Airbnb to inject new life into old industries. It’s an approach that is, in many ways, the complete opposite of what’s been tried over for decades. Let me tell you about the forces of unscaling.

For more than 100 years, businesses and institutions have sought scale. We made big hospitals, big banks, big corporations, big schools, all to serve the largest aggregation of customers as possible in the most efficient way. This tactic brought an advantage called “economies of scale.”

Today, scale can be rented. Thanks to innovations made possible by technology, distribution channels for products and services across industries have been dismantled, redesigned, and streamlined, driving costs down dramatically and making it possible – even preferable – for companies to disaggregate demand and meet consumer needs individually and directly.

As a result, the competitive advantage has shifted instead to small, nimble players that can take a ground-up approach, creating products and services that meet the specific needs of the individual instead of focusing on the masses. In other words, we’re now seeing economies of unscale. This phenomenon has been upending industry after industry: taxis, eyewear, retail, media, lodging, and so on.

When it comes to education, we’re seeing at least two versions of economies of unscale emerging. One approach has new players rejecting the current education system entirely and attempting to build a new model by opening standalone schools – or networks of new schools – in the public, charter, and private realms. While this approach may be transforming education for some pockets of constituents, this model of change is limited by the investment dollars required to reach each student affected. Some estimates suggest 6% of U.S. students, at most, are benefiting today from those providers. And few would argue that those charters are having the transformative impact on the broader system that their advocates hoped for.

In the second approach, we find organizations looking creatively at upending the system from the bottom up by bringing the tools and services that have the potential to radically change education. Teachers and administrators can implement them today within the confines of the current underlying infrastructure. Demand has been disaggregated from the state or district level so teachers can act individually. The teacher is the lever of change in education, using tools they can get with unprecedented ease.

With technology from companies like Khan Academy and ClassDojo (full disclosure: General Catalyst is an investor), we are now finding ourselves at a tipping point. A student’s learning experience, the way the teacher helps create and deliver that experience, and the way teachers, students and parents communicate with one another are undergoing a transformation.

In a 2015 poll by Stanford Consulting, an independent student-run consulting group, 64% of first-generation college students from top universities said Khan Academy played a meaningful role in their education. Khan Academy’s extensive library of videos, articles and exercises are built on software that allows every student to learn at his or her own pace. The technology can quickly determine where a student is in his or her learning trajectory, and serve up online lessons and practice to help the student progress.  Khan Academy’s social collaboration tools and analytics help it better understand how students learn in order to refine the offerings. The online “teacher” learns about the student just as the student learns the course work.

The communication platform ClassDojo is leading the way in yet another unscaled approach: by making it easy for teachers, parents, and students to come together as a community that extends from the classroom to the home. ClassDojo has grown entirely by word of mouth through teachers and parents. With at least one teacher in two in three schools in the U.S. (in 85,000 schools out of the 130,000 public schools in the country) using the platform, we’re seeing a clear indication that this inside-out, ground-up approach is gaining steam.

Why? Because individual teachers have, for the first time, the power to create a shared culture for their classrooms and schools, and can connect with parents, students, and each other in valuable ways not possible before. While these benefits are helping to streamline efficiencies for teacher communication with all of their local school stakeholders, a revolutionary ancillary benefit has emerged: ClassDojo is providing a platform for the proliferation of vibrant online communities of “teacher-preneurs” where all teachers can connect, share ideas, encourage one another, and ultimately generate the kind of positive, revolutionary change that has escaped top-down planners.

Other innovations will follow, built on unscaled approaches and new technologies. That includes new pedagogical models, new tools to build systems of record for schools, new ways to use software-based accountability. That’s the exciting thing about an unscaled-approach. Ideas can gain traction and spread quickly.

Ultimately the goal is to transform classrooms, which in turn will transform whole schools and districts, in order to better prepare the next generation for life and work in the 2010s and beyond. It won’t happen fast enough if we try to transform the entire system at the outset, or even if we build new schools from scratch in small batches. The only way to drive rapid change is if it starts within the system – with teachers, students, and parents who work from the bottom-up using tools that can spread rapidly through cloud computing and mobile devices.

In this way, the stakeholders at the center of the system – the teachers – will transform the existing education infrastructure from the inside, and we won’t have to wait for officials to build a new one.
