Michael Horn (Co-author of Disruption Class) was recently interviewed by ACSD for their Education Update. In the interview he addresses the future of schools:
Q: Are big public schools destined for the fate of the mainframe computer?
A: When Clay [Christensen] wrote his first book, The Innovator's Dilemma, that really was the message. Even if you do everything right, you're going to die. And it was a pretty depressing, pessimistic message. When he wrote the The Innovator's Solution, he wanted to find a way to help big organizations manage disruptive changes so that they can continue to exist and continue to bring value. That was the approach we took with Disrupting Class. We really want schools to manage these changes and find the pathways to adapting so that they can bring student-centered learning forth. We know educators want this; they want what's best for students. I think there is a pathway forward, and it's one of the reasons we called the book "disrupting class," not "disrupting schools."
