Takeaways

K-12 education isfacing multipledisruptive innovations.

The existing educational model is not a given.

Good organizations with good people will disappear if they don’t understand the ‘natural laws’ of disruptive innovation.

It’s very difficult for existing successful organizations to become dominant players in the new market.

This is sneaking up on most school organizations.

Implicationsfor NEA& teacher unions

Replacement of some teaching functions by offshoring and software.

Dispersion of teaching functions will erode membership base (and thus financial / political power)
