How does disruptive innovation relate to K12 education?

Online learning is gaining adoptionSubstitution calculation indicates online learning is growing disruptively
50% of all high school courses online by 2019

The rise of K-12 blended learningDefinition of blended learning
A formal education program in which a student learns at least in part through online learning, with some element of student control over time, place, path and/or pace
at least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home (such as school).

The modalities along each student’s learning path within a course or subject are connected to provide an integrated learning experience.

How to spot a hybrid
1. It includes both the old and new technology; pure disruption doesn’t offer old in full form
2. It targets existing users, not nonconsumers3. It tries to do the job of existing technology4. It is less foolproof than a disruptive innovation; does not
reduce level of wealth and/or expertise to purchase and operate it

students• Small, rural, urban schools• Unit recovery• Disaster preparedness• Tutoring• Developing countries
• Professional development• Pre-K• After school• In the home• Incarcerated youth• In-school suspension• School bus commute• Summer school• Teacher absenteeism• Migrant worker families• Foreign languages

• For-profits not inherently good or evil• Far fewer inherent differences between for-profits and non-
profits than many assume• Differences between for-profits stem from corporate
structure, where for-profits have owners and non-profits don’t• Easier for for-profits to attract capital, scale, and possibly talent• Easier for for-profits to focus• Non-profits can remain rooted in a community in absence of market
• Incentives matter. Policies must encourage smart demand

Understanding how users experience life
“The customer rarely buys what the company thinks it is selling him.”
Peter Drucker
If a customer won’t pay them to do something, over time they won’t do it. Will chase their incentives and do what they are paid to do—not much more and not much less

• For-profits not inherently good or evil• Far fewer inherent differences between for-profits and non-
profits than many assume• Non-profits aren’t always virtuous• Non-profits have business models, too• For-profits won’t cut corners if customers will punish them for doing so• In public education, historically, neither for-profits nor non-profits have actually saved
the taxpayer much money because of policy There is some sense in which they are all public entities because publicly funded

• For-profits not inherently good or evil• Far fewer inherent differences between for-profits and non-
profits than many assume• Differences between for-profits stem from corporate
