Synopsis

In a powerful follow up to Inevitable: Mass Customized Learning, Schwahn and McGarvey provide educational leaders with the playbook for implementing the compelling Mass Customized Learning vision. The “so how do you do it” question has been answered! Inevitable Too! marries the popular Total Leaders Framework with the inspirational and highly desirable vision of Mass Customized Learning. The authors present a clear and coherent roadmap of the leadership performance roles to make the MCL Vision a reality. Educators are poised to do what is right for learners, right for their profession, and right for our society. For the first time technologies are in place to make mass customization for learning possible. These technologies allow “students” to be “empowered learners.” Likewise, they empower and make it possible for teachers to individualize learning – something they have always wanted - and tried - to do! It is a moral imperative. Educators must “leapfrog” the prevailing Industrial Age, time-based paradigm of education to an Information Age educational system that truly supports learners and educators. There can be no more excuses. The technologies are abundant and powerful. The authors assert that the vision of Mass Customized Learning is, well, Inevitable.
