@book{citeulike:2873914, abstract = {**A crash course in the business of learning-from the bestselling author of \_The Innovator's Dilemma\_ and \_The Innovator's Solution\_…** ” A brilliant teacher, Christensen brings clarity to a muddled and chaotic world of education.” **-Jim Collins, bestselling author of \_Good to Great\_** According to recent studies in neuroscience, the way we learn doesn't always match up with the way we are taught. If we hope to stay competitive- academically, economically, and technologically-we need to rethink our understanding of intelligence, reevaluate our educational system, and reinvigorate our commitment to learning. In other words, we need ” disruptive innovation.” Now, in his long-awaited new book, Clayton M. Christensen and coauthors Michael B. Horn and Curtis W. Johnson take one of the most important issues of our time-education-and apply Christensen's now-famous theories of ” disruptive” change using a wide range of real-life examples. Whether you're a school administrator, government official, business leader, parent, teacher, or entrepreneur, you'll discover surprising new ideas, outside-the-box strategies, and straight-A success stories. You'll learn how * Customized learning will help many more students succeed in school * Student-centric classrooms will increase the demand for new technology * Computers must be disruptively deployed to every student * Disruptive innovation can circumvent roadblocks that have prevented other attempts at school reform * We can compete in the global classroom-and get ahead in the global market Filled with fascinating case studies, scientific findings, and unprecedented insights on how innovation must be managed, \_Disrupting Class\_ will open your eyes to new possibilities, unlock hidden potential, and get you to think differently. Professor Christensen and his coauthors provide a bold new lesson in innovation that will help you make the grade for years to come. The future is now.
