Steven Bell and John Shank, co-founders of the Blended Librarians Online Learning Community and their guests, Josh Kim and Barbara Knauff, invite you to join the next webcast, “Becoming an Educational Change Agent” On Thursday, May 21, 2009 at 3 pm. EDT.
Event Description:
In this session, we'll explore the changing role of academic teaching and learning "support" staff. How has it evolved over the past decade, and where are our job descriptions going? How much of our work is reactive, and how much of is advocacy for changes in instructional paradigms? How are the roles between instructional designers and librarians demarcated, and where are they beginning to shift or merge? Is learning technology itself an emerging academic discipline? We'll begin with a brief presentation on these issues by Josh Kim and Barbara Knauff, Senior Learning Technologists at Dartmouth College (see their recent Educause Review column on these issues, "Business Cards for the Future", but the majority of the session will be given over to a participant discussion of these issues

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

12. Effects of 40 Years of
Change
The basic grammar of schooling has remained unchanged over
decades:
• Division of time and space
• Classification of students
• Allocation to classrooms
• Splintering of knowledge into subjects
• Award of grades as evidence of learning
(Tyack & Cuban, 1995, p. 85)
12
13. Effects of 40 Years of
Change (cont’d)
Why?
• Political support
• Easily replicable
• Embodied the ‘real school’
• Supported by laws, institutional custom, and cultural beliefs
(Tyack & Cuban, 1995, p. 107)
Two problems:
• Leaders lost touch with citizens
• Burnout among reformers (p. 108)
13
14. Effects of 40 Years of
Change (cont’d)
In Higher Education:
“Generally speaking, fundamental changes in
teaching and learning are rare…In most
universities, teaching continues in much the
same way as it has always done. The lecture still
reigns supreme.” (Lueddeke, 1999, pp. 240–
241).
14
15. Effects of 40 Years of
Change (cont’d)
• Hargreaves and Goodson (2006) report on a study of change
over time:
200 interviews, observations
perceptions and experiences of educational change
8 high schools in US and Canada
teachers and administrators who worked in the schools in the
1970s, 1980s, and 1990s
15
16. Effects of 40 Years of
Change (cont’d)
The forces of change have:
• Reaffirmed traditional identities and practices
• Pulled innovative schools back toward the traditional
norm
• This effect is less where schools are professional
learning communities or have “an activist orientation”
(Hargreaves & Goodson, 2006, p. 3)
“In our study, standardization is proving to be
the ultimate enemy of enduring innovation and
sustainable learning communities” (p. 34).
