Michael Horn is the co-founder of the Clayton Christensen Institute and author of Blended and Disrupting Class.

Create educational options is to help kids find their potential.
Personalize to meet the needs of every student.
Organizations follow systems or processes that become engrained in cultures.
You get really good at the thing you’ve been doing.
We’re not going to see schools disappear.
Disrupting class, not the whole system to start.
If you want a system to change, you need a great leader.
So many forces arrayed to shoot down the “new”.
People are not being obstructionist because they’re bad people.
They’re not stupid people, they’re people in stupid systems.
We need a different system to match a new era.
Leaders have to give very clear permission about what you are allowed to violate.
“You’re allowed to do anything that doesn’t put kids in harm’s way.“
Very aggressively and clearly document every policy at odds with what has been on the books.
Competency-based learning
Don’t force them out of their comfort zone.
“The Dual Transformation” managing transformation A and B.
Go slow to go fast.
We don’t fully understand what everything will look like.
Seeing teachers in other places can help them see how it works.
Coalition of the willing.
Couple years is a baseline.
May not know all the details, but then you have a chance to celebrate
