paradigm
facilitating the systemic change process in public school
districts

year" award from the Association for Educational
Communications and Technology (AECT)

Utilizing “Component Display Theory” to develop
the Instructional Strategy Diagnostic Profile and the
Instructional Quality Profile
Developed “Elaboration Theory” to advance macro
level Instructional theory
Green book, volume one, focuses on Instructional
theory (IT). Volume two focuses on learned centered
IT and all aspect of human development. Volume
three focuses on development of common
knowledgebase in IT and advance knowledge about
Situationalities
 Paradigm change in education “Information-age-paradigm”

6. Significant accomplishments - II
Paradigm change in education “Information-age-paradigm”
Guidance for transforming to the new education
paradigm
Mostly Chartered schools implemented early version
of the “Information-age, learner-centered paradigm”.
Thirty seven (37) EdVisions schools, hundreds of
Montessori schools, and hundreds of public schools
implemented “information-age-paradigm”

7. Why you chose this leader?
Charles contribution in public education is amazing
and unparalleled. While most of the researchers in
Instructional Design field were busy in micro level
Instructional systems development, Charles took
courageous steps to focus on macro level
Instructional theory. Charles Green book in three
volumes is a master piece in Instructional theory.
Charles most valuable contribution is the
“Educational reform” utilizing Information-age
paradigm. Finally, Charles guidelines to
transformation of school systems is adopted by
hundreds of public and chartered schools in many

Subject: About a Leader
Dear Rezaul Chowdhury,
Thanks for your interest in my work. My most important current project is to help
spark a national movement to engage in paradigm change rather than piecemeal change
in education. My recent book, Reinventing Schools: It’s Time to Break the Mold (
http://www.reinventingschools.net), is my major vehicle for doing this. I am
actively looking for ways to help people understand what paradigm change is and why it
is needed so desperately in education today. Related to this is my efforts to advance
knowledge about both product and process for paradigm change – product being what
the new paradigm will be like and process being how we can help school systems to
transform to the new paradigm. I spent 12 years facilitating a paradigm change effort in
the Indianapolis Metropolitan School District of Decatur Township. And I have a
project to identify and describe school systems that embody the principles of the
learner-centered paradigm of education. These are also addressed in my recent book.

9. Email response from Charles Reigeluth -II
I am also continuing to work on functional specifications for a technology system to
support the new paradigm of education. My seminal article on this is Reigeluth, C.M.,
Watson, W.R., Watson, S.L., Dutta, P., Chen, Z., & Powell, N.D.P. (2008). Roles for
technology in the information-age paradigm of education: Learning Management
Systems. Educational Technology, 48(6), 32-39.
I am just finishing up an update on this, called PIES 2.0.
Finally, I am working on Volume IV of Instructional-Design Theories and Models.
I will be presenting on all of these lines of work at AECT in about a month.
Charles Reigeluth
