d school been there done that ...
I have read both of your articles about d school, finding them very interesting indeed; however back in the late 80's at an alternative high school, where I was employed as a mathematics/computer teacher, I experienced results on attempts to change the designs of our centers' teaching methods, etc. ... I found these changes very interesting and thought they should (could) work just fine? You see though, I was just beginning my 20 year career at that district. The other members of our faculty had much more time in, and I found their overwhelming resistance to change very unrelenting? Our new principal lasted only two years at our center, leaving us after he received a four year grant to start his own alternative school, still within our district. My conclusion (of course) was to assume people are very resistant to change of any kind? He finally resigned from the district to move on to another area consisting of younger teachers less resistant to trying something with a different (better) design ... The jury is still out on the results of that one? Sooooo ... I wish David K. good luck with his d school, but I would surmise the astablished business school's tenured-faculty is already installing sandbags along the shores of proven business methods; however I can vaguely hear the sabers rattling now over at the business school faculty lounge? Good Luck ... TEd ...
