I really had to start with our leadership teams in the district.在这个区域我想从领导团队开始。 That included the governing board, and giving them a vision of what school should be.那包括董事会，并且让他们知道将需要什么样的学校。

The role of the teacher, and the role of the student. I had to draw all kinds of analogies about how our personal lives have changed because of technology.教师的角色和学生的角色，由于科技，我们的个人工作和生活也会随之改变。

How should that affect the classroom? 教室将会受到什么样的影响呢？So, I probably spent about six months just creating the vision of what's school and learning should be at the board level with their principles and with our teachers union.我大概花了6个月时间来研究我们的学校和学习将是什么样，如何将实践和老师与我们的理论联系起来。

They were very early in the process. 他们都实行得较早。And so giving people a hunger for,所以给人们带来渴望

actually, dissatisfaction. Like, the, the current model doesn‘t work for some kids or some teachers.So how can we create I would say,实际上不公平的事就像目前的模式不适用于学生和老师 a desire to change the model of teaching and learning. We thought about the, the design process and it was so crucial that the principal and the teachers,想要改变教与学的模式的欲望会使我们想到，设计一个可以改变主要负责人和老师的方法很重要

essentially a school, has so much of the control over the design.

If it was a plan that was rolled out from my office or the district office it

wouldn't have survived reality. People would have run into the challenges

and they would have said, not my plan, I'm out.人们会遇到挑战，人们会说 When they develop the plan, the ownership of it got them through the implementation curve.当他们开始实施计划，当他们发展计划，它的所有权得实现

And so maintaining some broad parameters, so for us it was student engagement, using technology and sofware, that's the bleded learning part.certainly student outcomes.And, and for teachers to lighten up about

control of use of time, and even space.继续保有主要的参数

And so, I mean, that was the extent of our design principles and then we gave our schools parameters to design, 我们的设计原则的程度，我们给我们的学校的参数设计

and I think that defined autonomy is crucial, because if the district plants it we've seen how that works over decades of school leadership. It , it never lasts. 定义的自主性是至关重要的，因为我们已经看到在过去几十年的工作。

It doesn't survive the innovation curve. 它没有生存的创新曲线

>> Another theme that we've heard people talk about when they're thinking about picking their teams is to start with the folks who are bought in. Sort of a coalition of the willing.另外一个主题就是我听说人们正在谈论精心挑选所雇佣的人，根据意愿进行排序。

Get them on first to be your early adopters and get some early wins. 让他们成为你的早期采用者并取得一些早期的成果

 Right? Pick that low-hanging fruit. 选择一些容易实现的目标

And then you'll have some proof points of success when we need to go and address the folks who maybe aren't as bought in or simply sitting back waiting to see if this initiative is going to fail.然后你就会有一些早期的成果，使那些不参与改革而只是坐等看你如何失败的人看到改革益处的证据。

>> The initial launch of it, it had to be volunteers that wanted

to take the first steps. I was glad it was two schools.改革的初期需要一些志愿者进行第一步的尝试，很高兴的是我们有两所这样的学校。

Because, if it had only been one school by themselves, the challenges I think might have overwhelmed them. That they had colleagues at another school to support them. the innovation is, is spreading faster than I had thought. 如果只有一个学校，我想挑挑战能够压倒他们。他们需要有另外一个学校来支持。这样改革就会远比我们自己想象的进行的要快。

I currently have, I would say, four other elementary schools That are probably 75% blended learning after the first two months of school.目前普遍存在的是 经过学校的头两个月。已经有4所学校大约有75% 的混合式学习。

It's rolling out faster than I would have dreamed.发展得元比我想象的要快High school and middle school some initial steps. I mean, those are different spaces.在高中和初中这些不同的空间也已经有了最初的改革。

I think it's going to take a different lens to, to figure out blended learning

there. but I'm super excited about what's going on in our schools.这需要一个不同的镜头，找出混合式学习，但是对于我们学校中所进行的混合式学习，我感到异常兴奋。

It's just, it's, it's spreading quietly without us pushing it. 这是我们没有把它悄悄蔓延。

>> So one piece of advice as you embark on this redesign process. 所以你踏上这个设计过程需要一个忠告。

If you don't make this reinvention work, a key part of someone's everyday

job, you're probably not going to get the results that you're hoping for. 如果你不把这个再造工作，作为提上日程。你将不会得到你所想要的结果。

Teachers are already overburdened enough as it is, and if you just sort of pile this on as one more thing that you do at the end of the day, or something like that, you're just not going to get the results that we're hoping for. 老师已经不堪重负，如果你只是堆作为一件你做最后的事情，你也将不会得到你所期待的结果。

>> You know, that makes me think about Summit, when they were doing

their re-invention and re-design works, they did a couple of really smart things.当他们重新重新创造从新设计时，那会使我想到峰会，这是他们做的两件特别聪明的事情。The first was that they used those inter-session periods of time, when they weren't teaching full-time classes,第一就是他们没有进行全日制课程教学时运用跨时间的会话期

to have everybody in the organization envisioning what this new model could look like and prototyping,让团体中所有的人预想这个新的模型可能看起来像什么

And then the second thing they did is when they started to build out all those playlists that actually allowed for personalization.他们所做的第二件事就是建立了实际上允许个性化所有的行动列表。

They had the teachers doing that over the summer.他们的老师在夏天时做过。

So it was their full time to be innovative in designing structures for a

new school model. 他们把全部时间花在结构设计和创新新的学校模式上。

>> And what's interesting is that as this redesign work took hold in these other periods, redesign at all times really became part of the core of a teacher's job actually in their model.有趣的是这种重新设计工作占有了这些其他的时期，不时地从新设计成为一个教师工作的核心部分

>> I think that's right. I think there's a mindset that we have to go after.  我想有一种心态，我们必须走在后面。

 

Which we don't think of it as, I have a day job, and then we go into a little bit of innovation. It's that we say in our culture, in our school, innovating

new models, and going towards personalization, is what our job is about.我们不认为是这样的，我有一个工作日，我们去创新一点点。在我们的文化中，在我们的学校中，创新新的学校成为私有化，是我们工作的所在。

And I think if you look at most of our protagonist schools, all their teachers would say, they're sort of on a mission to figure this out. 你看我们以人为本的学校，所有的老师会说他们是把这当作任务。

It's not the thing they do in addition to teaching their classes or being the

principal of their school. 除了教学班的事，在学校原则上，这不是他们做的

So, if you do everything right, and you get those early adopters on board, 如果你把每件事都做对了，就对得起对你有知遇之恩的人 and you get some initial wins, you still have to think about what do you do with the naysayers, 你得到了一些最初的成果，你仍然还需要考虑如何对待那些唱反调的人。

the people who might otherwise be obstructionist. 否则可能会有障碍的人And I think the key idea here is for folks to be really strategic, 这里的关键思想是人是真正的战略and then who do you turn your attention to to make sure they come along as well.你要把你的的注意力放在确保他们是否都跟在你的后面。

>> One of the principles that I've learned about communication and, 原则之一就是信息传达and maybe in an initiative that's this broad forward, is to think about some

of the groups that I normally wouldn't have thought about communicating with. And so for example we started this work in our elementary schools, 例如我们在小学开始这种变革but it was really important for our middle school and high school teachers to know what we were doing, 但是让中学老师知道我们所做的事情是很重要的otherwise they would have heard a different story about it and could have complained and caused enough noise to shut the whole thing down.否则，他们会听到关于改革的一些不同的故事并会抱怨致使致使整个事情受到阻碍。 Now normally I wouldn't have focused on those other groups. 通常我不会集中在其他组。

But you know, I've had some people coach me on how do you communicate well so that everybody is at least informed.我曾让一些人指导我如何有效地传达让所有的人都变得明智。

So that they can either be neutral or even be supportive of it. 因此，他们可以是中立的或者甚至是支持它

>> This is new and so there's a lot of people who think its not going to work and for a variety of reasons they say oh I don't believe in it or oh I don't buy into it or it can't make sense.许多人会有许多原因而不相信或不打算买或者认为这没有意义。

And so our approach to naysayers is, first of all, to make sure they understand the vision that we're aiming for.我们的方法对于唱反调的人应是使他们知晓我们的目标是什么。And I'll be honest with you, when you can share and articulate the vision that we're aiming for,我要老实跟你说当你能够分享你的目标时 most people actually buy into that vision. 大多数人会买进so then, once you get them bought in the vision, it's really about what about the implementation.一旦他们买进，接下来就是执行

And there, it's getting people over their fear of doing something different. 这是让人们对他们做些不同的事情的恐惧。

So it's really back to about change. 因此我们要回来谈谈变革。People are afraid of schools not looking the way that they know them to look. 人们害怕看到看上去与以往学校不同的学校Which is very uncomfortable, and so you have to really work through fears with people.这会让人感到很不舒服，并且还要为那些充满恐惧的人做工作。

What are you afraid of? What will happen if we do that? What will, okay, well, if you're afraid of that, what can we do to mitigate that fear?你还怕什么？如果我们继续做下去将会发生社么？如果你对这些感到害怕，为减少害怕，我们应做什么呢？

And so it's really becomes an exercise in getting people to overcome their fears. 让人们来克服他们的恐惧，成为一个训练。

 Which are very normal, very natural, and then see it start to work and then begin to buy in to a vision that they really do care about.这是很正常很自然的，经过这个过程之后人们开始关注他们所关心的。

>> If we're talking about converting an existing school, there's this really interesting question of, how do you even get started? 如果我们开始考虑建造一所现有的学校，有趣的问题是应该如何开始？And one local district, I know, did a very interesting process, where they essentially put out a request for proposal, RFP. 他们基本上提出了一个请求建议，RFP。

To all the school in their district.在他们所在地区的所有学校。

And they were very clear about the outcomes they had in mind.他们会非常明白心中寄托的成果是什么。Very different school models that use personalization for each student.尊重学生的个性就是学校与众不同的模式。

But they weren't dictitorial about the how, and they let every school that was interested volun, voluntarily go after it. Design their own school models, and then they picked the ones they thought were most compelling, and provided them some early seed funding, and then eventually some

implementation money. 设计他们自己学校的模式他们选择了他们认为最令人信服的方面。为他们提供种子基金最终是一些执行基金。

 But it was essentially a competition to see the best ideas come up as the first starting point.他是一个作为竞争的最好的想法。

>> What was important the first cycle of design and I call that design 1.0, that was my first year in this district, was inviting teams of principals and teachers to a design conversation.设计的第一个周期是很重要的，工作的第一年我安排了一些主要负责人和老师来进行会谈。 And we used a blend of outside consultants and, and our own staff to, to lead with questions.我们将外部顾问和内部员工结合起来

And the best questions was if you could design a school of the future now, what would it look like? And that was a question that I posed to our principals that first year.最好的问题是，如果你现在可以设计一个未来学校，这个学校将会是什么样的呢？ 这是第一年我问我们的校长的问题。

And they went off and designed for a couple months.他们回去设计几个月Came back and we just massaged them. And then we launched, amazingly, 回来后，我们推出的，令人惊讶的是，

two Blended learning schools with four months advanced planning.经过4个月的精密策划建立两所学校。

Really, It's, I, I'd actually never done work this fast in my career.在我的职业生涯中，我的行动还未如此快过。

And it's a little scary, and, and tremendously rewarding. 这是有点吓人，，，和非常有益There's a second approach as well, which is, if you want,另外 还有一个方法we've talked about how conversions are really tricky. So make your conversion like a start-up. 我们已经谈到了如何转换很棘手，所以让你的转换启动。

What I mean by that is find the areas in your school that are greenfield if you will, where there's total opportunity.我的意思总是有机会找到一个校区

To invent from scratch what you're doing.把你所想要做的从零开始。 Every school has plenty of these opportunities where you can literally invent your model from scratch, and then start thinking about all those tricky areas to convert. 所有的学校有从字面上创造你的模型从零开始的机会，开始对所有这些棘手的领域要转换思维

>> So this, in your theory, would be the non-consumption areas?在理论上这属于非消费领域。

>> Yeah, that's exactly right. And we see them in every school, right

Brent? 完全正确，我们在每一所学校都会看见。

>> Right. So if you think about, you know, after school time, like we've talked about earlier, or summer school, or even an area where you're just doing a really bad job. 放学的时候你会考虑像我们前面谈到的或是暑期班甚至一个地区，你只是在做一个非常糟糕的工作。

 We offer one foreign language, but what if a student actually wants to learn German?我们提供一种外语，但是如果有一个学生想要学习德语呢？That might be a really interesting place to pilot an online class or a blended class where students are working on very different languages all at the same time, 建立在线课堂或者混合式课堂使具有不同语言基础的学生同时学习，这可能是一个很有趣的方面because you're not competing with that superstar

German teacher who's already going to be doing a great job on that subject.有一个已经开始做这这个课题的是个德国人。

>> We've seen this work really well.我们很看好这项工作 There's a school called the School of One out of New York City. 一个被称为纽约市的学校

 That started to do blended learning.And the place that they started was in summer school.已经开始了混合式学习，但这是一个暑期班学校And the reason was that they really needed to think and have a space for how to radically personalize learning for every single student.他们需要考虑 如何为每一个孩子实现真正的个性化学习，Try that approach.需要尝试那个方法。 Figure out what worked and what didn't.弄明白那些反面是有效的那些是无效的 Iterate and correct course. 迭代和正确的课程

 And then really put it into action at schools across the district, once they really started to figure it out.一旦他们真的想出来，然后在该区的学校付诸行动

>> If you're in the startup world, you know this concept of a lean startup, or rapid prototype. 一个精益创业的概念或者是一个快速创业的原型

 And we've talked about it. And our final week of this course, week six is going to all be about rapid prototyping.我们现在正在谈论的是本课程的最后一周，六周将是快速成形

Getting you ready to go launch your blended learning experiment in whatever setting you have. 无论你有什么样的设置，起动你的混合式学习实验

So we'll be coming back to dive to this concept much more deeply.我们应该更深刻地潜入这个概念 In week six. Now , to pause at the end of this session this week, we've covered a lot. 在本周的会议结束时暂停，我们已经做了许多。.

 We've really looked at what this looks like if we tackle a whole school to do innovation.我们为整个学校做出创新而做出准备Look at the assumptions we make, and ways we can break it down. Before we close out, we're going to have，假设我们有打破他的方法

you go back and think about the last piece of this, the budget.我们回过来想想最后这一块，资金问题 And we're going to have Rob come on and talk about your assignment this week.我们本周将请Rob来谈谈你的任务安排。

Because we think the budget actually makes this real.原因是我们认为预算是一个真实而实际的问题。

And we think it's a place where a lot of educators often don't get to spend the time. 很多教育工作者往往不去花时间在这个问题上。
