Every generation loves to learn. However, our public schooling system has gone as far as it can take us. The abundance of easily accessible information on the internet, coupled with emerging tech like AI, decentralized protocols and bitcoin, means this is our time to innovate our learning infrastructure. A complete overhaul is due along with the development of a pilot program to test new and unconventional models.
Let’s carve a path towards innovation by sparking discussion around this topic. Hence, this blueprint. It is a gauntlet for any person who genuinely wants to become a stakeholder for our country’s future. Entry points are:
- Builders—Startups, developers and investors who will fund and create infrastructure.
- Practitioners—Educators and researchers who will test models.
- Supporters—Parents, donors and community members who want to contribute.
**Where Do We Begin?**
Let’s think about crafting the main components of a new pilot model. Below are suggested areas of focus:
- DEFINITION
- APPROACH
- PHILOSOPHY
- CULTURE
- PHYSICAL DESIGN
- OPERATIONAL ORGANIZATION
- ACCOUNTABILITY METHODS
- RISKS & CHALLENGES
- STYLE
- STAKEHOLDERS
**How It Works**
After researching your pedagogical ideas for current and future generations of scholars, it’s time to share your insights. Contribute your viewpoint by structuring a blueprint—one page per section—in the following sequence:
- Definition of your modern learning model with its key principles.
- Description of the core learning approach.
- Philosophy distilled into central concepts that will orient stakeholders.
- Culture your modern learning model aspires to live by.
- Potential challenges, risks and drawbacks.
- Design of physical spaces and rationale.
- Operational framework detailing adult and child learning organization.
- Accountability methods to ensure skill growth and competency.
- Style development and name of your model.
- Skin in the game, sign your model with your first and last name (unite stakeholders).
Perhaps if enough stakeholders come together, we can begin to actualize a more effective and updated way of learning. This is a challenge meant to separate those willing to engage in discourse, planning and laying foundations from those content to complain from the sidelines.
**Why Now and Where Does the Money Come From?**
After being a public educator for fifteen years, I learned you will not change the system, the system will change you. It’s time to design and build above and apart from the current model. 2025 is when courageous people step up to the plate and discuss our learning infrastructure. Whether it’s contributing out of the box thinking, modernizing curriculum, investing in startups or creating your own venture; there is no greater time than now. And no greater place than in the USA!
(By extension, we also create the opportunity to influence our global allies including our neighbors to the North and South.)
“But how!?” Learning Producers is figuring it out by asking not, “how?” but “who?” Who will unite together to develop our learning infrastructure? If you decide you want to participate and join our efforts, share your blueprint as well. For all stakeholders, this is an investment in an untapped market of a new learning economy.
If not, you’re not alone. Some consider this just rhetoric, idealism, or wishful thinking. Additionally, it is unclear how such actions can be profitable or how such infrastructure building will be funded. Money talks. Bullshit walks, right? In that case, let’s talk, and let’s fine tune our BS detectors. Onward, with this call to action:
- Share your own blueprint online or reach out to Learning Producers, Inc. ([Learningproducers.com](https://learningproducers.com/)).
- Conduct research on an ideal location and team to lay foundations on a pilot program at small scale.
- Engage in dialogue with investors interested in developing learning infrastructure for their own children and families.
- Secure stakeholders to develop and test a real world pilot model (real location, real agreements, real timeline, real people).
- Sponsor or donate resources to counter concerns over funding.
Now, we leave you with our blueprint:
