Education Innovation: Are Teachers Productive "Knowledge Workers?"
Teachers, if they are to be knowledge workers, must have individual responsibility for ensuring they successfully accomplish the task. They must be able to manage themselves.
One aspect of individual autonomy is that in the classroom the teacher is free to use their knowledge to best accomplish the task.
The Easiest Way to Change People's Behavior - Peter Bregman - HarvardBusiness.org
Well, it turns out that people didn't mind the idea of filling out a timesheet, but they were frustrated by the technology. The online system required people to go through a series of steps (a wizard) in order to put their time in. It was meant to help them, but it took longer and needlessly delayed them. Not by much -- 10 seconds at most -- but that was enough to dissuade 50% of the people from following through.
Once we changed the form and the technology it was on, everyone started using it. They weren't being defiant. They simply weren't walking the 10 feet and four steps to the table. The solution isn't to explain to people why they should take the walk or force them to take the walk. The solution is far simpler: move the table.

Communities of learning that exist outside of traditional time and place, which look very different from the schools we attended as children.
