He is one of the great teachers I have been pairing with to get this going here in the states.<br /><br />http://thedesignofhistory.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Also, you may want to check out Cortes Sierra Elementary in AZ, who was the first school I introduced Scrum to, and are now using it school wide, from Teacher Scrums to classrooms scrum. They even have a Scrum club.<br /><br />BluePrint Education has some charter schools in AZ, and I am helping them with a new course using Scrum, that is a hybrid online/in class course. <br /><br />I hold free workshops for teachers, as my schedule permits, on the topic, and have great responses from teachers. <br /><br /><br />Thanks,<br />John Miller<br />agileschools@gmail.com<br />http://theagileschool.blogspot.com/<br />john millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17411493015703820658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3491762.post-46653776763703782202012-11-10T08:44:46.753-05:002012-11-10T08:44:46.753-05:00Jeff ,

I am currently writing a free creative commons guide for educators that will be made available shortly. john millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17411493015703820658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3491762.post-56949497194612524242012-11-10T04:34:01.887-05:002012-11-10T04:34:01.887-05:00I had dinner with the eduScrum teachers in Amsterd...I had dinner with the eduScrum teachers in Amsterdam recently and their passion reminded me of the early days of the agile movement. They said Scrum almost completely eliminates disciplinary and attention problems in the class. It makes the teacher's job a lot easier and more fun as they become a coach instead of a lecturer. I suspect the epidemic of ADD in children is at least partially caused by the teaching environment in our schools. Our current educational system is largely designed to turn out an assembly line worker instead of a creative, thoughtful, autonomous individual capable of making their own decisions. If a child starts acting out or is bored the teacher advises the parents to drug them into compliancy.<br /><br />We have teachers in our family so I appreciate how difficult it is to teach a class of 30 or more kids, particularly in an inner city environment. However, they are trying to control the kids rather than engage them. Just as waterfall managers find it impossible to control projects, teachers find it impossible to control kids. Scrum is designed to solve this problem. Teams are cross-functional, self-organizing, self-learning, and self-managing.Jeff Sutherlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07761053439034726679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3491762.post-59953318828847579212012-06-13T18:43:00.458-04:002012-06-13T18:43:00.458-04:00This is great to see in education!

Take a look at a Title 1 school (a school the Dept of Ed determines to have enough disadvantaged students to merit the label) in Arizona using Scrum for 4th graders we started October 2011. Absolutely amazing results! A range of kids in this class, from special education to gifted, shy to extroverts, middle class kids to foster kids.<br /><br />Article on my presentation at the Scrum Alliance on using Scrum in Schools:<br />http://searchsoftwarequality.techtarget.com/news/2240150165/Can-Scrum-change-the-world<br /><br />Check out http://theagileschool.blogspot.com for more information on our journey. It can work for any classroom and is the next generation learning framework.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />John Millerjohn millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17411493015703820658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3491762.post-41895918454486482452012-05-05T05:12:07.276-04:002012-05-05T05:12:07.276-04:00Take a look at "Disrupting Class" by HBS...Take a look at "Disrupting Class" by HBS Professor Clayton Christersen.

In Denmark, Sweden, and Norway there us very rarely a child that comes to school hungry, from poverty, from a broken home, from a abusive environment, or any of the other ills we experience in our education.<br /><br />Every time the academic educators look at this system, they conclude the same out come - a homogeneous society, well educated to start, same population, sufficient wealth to support the system.<br /><br />Such a baseline would be very rare in our general population. <br /><br />If it were only the case that our public school systems has the foundations needed to replicate this exampleGlen Allemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16167384494528348151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3491762.post-71002658483807099772012-04-27T07:09:11.108-04:002012-04-27T07:09:11.108-04:00This sounds really good.

We are also working with scrum in our company and I think this what be great if there would be something like a retrospective at school/university. I think applied carefully Scrum can be a great way to motivate people to get into new stuff quickly and to motivate far more then just do sit and prey.Florian Fanderlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07059266361020115429noreply@blogger.com
