The theme of the book is defining the role of teachers in blended
learning environments. The book encourages teachers to use the
blended classroom to engage with digital learners in highly
intentional ways. The book articulates the need to create a moral
exemplar approach to digital learning environments and posits a
dual parallel education theory. The book offers a model of the
theory that is currently operating. Finally, the book encourages
teachers to accept the challenge to be engaged, shepherd teachers.
Historically, we have been engaged with a model of education reform
since the latter part of the last century. We now have a cycle
that's become a system with "pockets of promise" and isolated
experiments. It appears that everyone is an education reformer and
every district, charter and region has their own particular
experiment, giving the appearance of widespread innovation. We've
grown comfortable with this "interruption" that tolerates, or
celebrates, the experiments as long as they don't seriously disrupt
our entrenched classroom approach to teaching and learning.
Reshaping the Paradigms of Teaching and Learning is a call to move
beyond experimentation and transform the understanding of our
entire system of education. The author defines the distinctions
between the teaching system of the last century and the need for
learning systems and how this is possible for today's learner.
Understanding the difference, and understanding the need, is our
first step toward a broad transformation. That understanding begins
with the thought but demands the action. Disruption, and each
learner, awaits that transformation.
