Agile Schools
Scrum in the world of work, allows teams to self-organize around a common goal (Delivering a Product). Scrum in education is about getting kids to self organize in teams to learn and deliver their own school work. Kids who haven’t been molded for years by a traditional hierarchical control system seem like the perfect audience. They learn to be critical thinkers, question authority and explore.
The Agile in Education Compass moves the focus from: Prescriptive → Iterative Content → Culture Evaluation → Visible Feedback & Reflection Control → Trust Competition → Collaboration
