This teacher wants to create a model university before he retires from teaching.NEXT SLIDEThis businessman wants to create a model university for poor and deserving youths.

I need a school to train people very well and to train them much faster than other schools can. 123456789101112131415Companies and organizations need a steady pool of well-trained talents that can be hired quickly. END SHOWPRECEDING SLIDELAST SLIDE VIEWEDMAIN MENUNEXT SLIDE

123456789101112131415I want a model university that uses the best of the past to shape the future... where employers and schools compete for our students even before they graduate ...... and where teachers and staff are happy to do a great job together.END SHOWPRECEDING SLIDELAST SLIDE VIEWEDMAIN MENUNEXT SLIDE

123456789101112131415If you create a way for students to acquire at least 98% of the competencies needed in businesses & industries ... where students can complete a 4-year course in 3 years or less... then Ill give you money to run a model university for 9 years!... where faculty and staff are very committed to creating and sustaining a model universityEND SHOWPRECEDING SLIDELAST SLIDE VIEWEDMAIN MENUTHE SOLUTIONNEXT SLIDE

123456789101112131415Then our teachers must be trained to use rapid learning... our students must be trained to use mastery learning... and our staff must be trained to manage all these innovations.

And we must have sustainable profits by the sixth year.END SHOWPRECEDING SLIDELAST SLIDE VIEWEDMAIN MENUNEXT SLIDE

... and whats rapid learning?123456789101112131415Whats mastery learning...END SHOWPRECEDING SLIDELAST SLIDE VIEWEDMAIN MENUNEXT SLIDE

END SHOWPRECEDING SLIDELAST SLIDE VIEWED123456789101112131415Mastery learning is for basic knowledge and skills such as in English, Math and ITC.Each lesson must be mastered 100% before a student can go to the next lesson.Lets keep this simple and not go into its seminal concepts from Maslow, Gagne, Mager, Piaget, Bloom, Skinner, Dewey, Hunter or Vygotsky.MAIN MENUNEXT SLIDE

END SHOWPRECEDING SLIDELAST SLIDE VIEWEDMany smart youths are out of school because they need to work and feed their families.A small family stipend can help them complete the online course.Then, a work scholarship can motivate them to complete college and instill self-worth and values.161718192021222324252627282930

END SHOWPRECEDING SLIDELAST SLIDE VIEWEDBut I dont see why the usual textbooks cant be used for rapid learning.Rapid learning is necessary if we want to train faster than other schools can.161718192021222324252627282930Show me a few examples of your materials.MAIN MENUNEXT SLIDE

END SHOWPRECEDING SLIDELAST SLIDE VIEWEDFor instance, we use bilingual textbooks to speed up slow learners

END SHOWPRECEDING SLIDELAST SLIDE VIEWEDWe train our teachers to adapt and create whats not available.They learn to repackage knowledge for rapid mastery.

END SHOWPRECEDING SLIDELAST SLIDE VIEWEDBy the way, this is a poor business model:Schools buy teaching services.When teachers leave the school, their knowledge leaves with them.313233343536373839404142434445MAIN MENUNEXT SLIDE

END SHOWPRECEDING SLIDELAST SLIDE VIEWEDHeres a better business model:Our school buys knowledge thats re-packaged by teachers to meet our specific learning needs.When teachers leave, the knowledge stays in our school, and is reusable forever!313233343536373839404142434445

Teachers benefit too!MAIN MENUNEXT SLIDE

END SHOWPRECEDING SLIDELAST SLIDE VIEWEDDespite absences, holidays or other interruptions, quality learning can continue since lessons & tests are all online.Since test questions are automatically scrambled, checked & graded by computers....we teachers can have more time for those who need our help.Teachers & students can benefit, too.313233343536373839404142434445MAIN MENUNEXT SLIDE

END SHOWPRECEDING SLIDELAST SLIDE VIEWEDI can review anything I forget or dont understand. I dont need to bother Teacher.I can get high grades because I know exactly what I must do, and I can find the answers to all my questions. Mom and Dad will be so proud when I graduate, and with honors too!Research indicates that a feeling of safety and positive emotions are essential for the rapid learning of new concepts.313233343536373839404142434445MAIN MENUNEXT SLIDE

END SHOWPRECEDING SLIDELAST SLIDE VIEWEDHeres another poor business model in academia:Schools buy prestige and reputation by hiring PhD degree holders.Theyre not trained in rapid mastery learning, in creating or sustaining a new model university.313233343536373839404142434445MAIN MENUNEXT SLIDE

END SHOWPRECEDING SLIDELAST SLIDE VIEWEDHeres a much better business model:First, we train retired PhDs for 3 months and then they go home. We get the prestige and the reputation without the high salaries or other headaches.Then we pay big money for each lesson that they create for us.Our website shows that our lessons are by PhDs from other countries.

Good idea.464748495051525354555657585960MAIN MENUNEXT SLIDE

END SHOWPRECEDING SLIDELAST SLIDE VIEWEDOther schools do not use the rapid mastery learning combination ... so it wont be easy for us at the start.464748495051525354555657585960MAIN MENUNEXT SLIDE

END SHOWPRECEDING SLIDELAST SLIDE VIEWED... but in the end, this school will be a leader in the instruction & training industry.

Note to me: Avoid this poor business model.MAIN MENUNEXT SLIDE

END SHOWPRECEDING SLIDELAST SLIDE VIEWEDI can also see how expenses can be measured VS quality, performance, teaching & learning results. Auditing can be clearer and faster.Weak spots can be easily identified for faster intervention.464748495051525354555657585960
