The new paradigm “Design Schools”
#1
Old Paradigm: Select a single field of study.
New Paradigm: Combine knowledge from multiple disciplines to
create a powerful, unique mix. Design your curricula.
#2
Old Paradigm: So called “Industrial Line Model”.
New Paradigm: Keep your options open, stay location
independent. Design your physical and contextual premises.
#3
Old Paradigm: Commit to a long term time horizon while having
little clue how your field works in the real world.
New paradigm: Commit to a shorter time horizon, reevaluate using
hands-on experience with your field. Design your school program
of study.
#4
Old Paradigm: Have your teachers “assigned” to you with little room
for choice.
New Paradigm: Pick the best teacher you can find for each subject.
Design the Staff.
#5
Old Paradigm: Focus on the theoretical over the practical,
memorization over problem-solving.
New Paradigm: Focus on the practical and solving real problems (but
study valuable theory). Design the Methodology.
