In this episode, best-selling author Michael Horn shares insights on developing the passion and potential in every child through a triad of blended learning, personalized learning and competency-based assessments that serve as a foundation for student-centered schools. He also discusses talking points from his best-selling book, Blended: Using Disruptive Innovation To Improve Schools, and why school construction must shift to an intrinsic design model that is affordable and more purposeful in building collaborative learning spaces. Finally, Horn reflects on the "Knowledge Economy" and why disruptive innovation is the key to making a pedagogical shift in the classroom. Twitter: @michaelbhorn. Website: www.michaelbhorn.com.
