Thriving on Chaos - 1988
He has slides with progressive disclosure (but I only see the first (blank) screen? what's up with that? - I'm on MacBook Air and tried in Chrome, Firefox and Safari?)
ExploitingChaos.com - ebook to make ideas more attractive.
Great story but how many schools can be started from scratch with as many resources?
- 8:50 am start
- backward schedule every 4 weeks
- weekly podcast
- google apps
- teacher cell numbers
- quarterly surveys
- kids present to parents before they get to take iPad home
- variation on a theme - teachers work together
- pro bro - baseball card on yourself each year - takes less time cuz effective filters down. Junior does different styles of resumes. Get free business cards from company that offers that.
- PBEs - Personal Brand Equity
- Day after CSTs the class moves to the next level - read before summer - discuss over the summer on a Ning.

He says can do his style of school without funds.
Asides:
Support and freedom needed from school/district.
What happens to the kids who are quiet or do not have skills to read or write?
How do kids get accepted to his school?
How many are first time to college and do they have data on how many graduate from 4-year college?
When I taught chapter one reading I spent first week introducing the kids to the materials and procedures - really helped them buy into the process and be independent and own their own reading progress. Taking the time at the beginning really paid off so that's a good idea to get the school on the same page with procedures too.
