What are we trying to do?
• Why? How?
• What do the very best programs know?• (Sturgeon’s Law?)
• Great at Entrepreneurship• Great at Teaching (Theory and Practice)
Find the Right Frame: One Size Does Not Fit All
• Research evidence in EE is scary…• Lack of theory• Lack of education theory• Theory gives us frameworks…
– Impact = f(Pedagogy, Learners, Instructors and Context.. Including Stage)
– Inputs Throughputs Outputs
Stages… examples of context
• Lent’s model –
• Ecosystem?– Human Capital– Social Capital– Political Capital
• Engagement/Co-Immersion
“Greatest Hits” of Educational Research
• Humans like to learn; humans are good at it!• Lesson Plans Help [think I->T->O]• Action Changes Brains… with the right support• Cooperative Learning
– “Jigsaw”• Flipped/inverted• Authentic Questions• You Get What You Measure• Mindset not Surface Knowledge
– Critical developmental experiences– Problem-based learning– Non-cognitive >> cognitive

So what IS the “entrepreneurial mindset”?
• Learning ABOUT entrepreneurship (content)Versus?

Keys to constructivistic learning

• Personal reflection• Peer support (peer mentoring)• Expert mentoring (need a chess master!)
• Immersion in experience• Co-immersion in ecosystem
Best programs in the world? What do THEY do?
• Virtually none are university-based but…– Chalmers, Stanford, Aalto…– Venture creation programs
• Don’t incubate, accelerate?– Startup Weekend– Lean startup– TechStars, et al. /Global Accelerator Network– Y-Combinator /500 Startups /etc.
