About Us
                  Learning2Innovate is an education startup to promote
         inquiry and project based learning in teams. Our programs aim to
         enable young minds to apply their knowledge to solve complex
         problems and innovate to succeed in life.


                  Our coaching methods foster kids to communicate, collaborate,
         think critically and create the new world they wish to live in. Knowledge
         age requires knowledge workers. What our schools teach today is no
         longer enough. Many repeatable & mundane jobs are being automated.
         Kids who learn to generate new ideas, work in teams and innovate will
         thrive in 21st century and solve complex global challenges.

Key lessons from education and Brain
                  research
        Education research tells us schools need to be smaller, with more
        parent involvement and more personalized curricula.

        Brain research shows people learn by making sense of information,
        by connecting things, and by learning in a real context.

        Learning theory asserts the value of hands-on experiences.

        Developmental psychology says kids are fragile and must be
        nurtured by adult mentors to thrive.

Natural curiosity drives Inquiry
                Based Learning (IBL)


       Engagement & motivation to learn is driven by our
       own natural curiosity. Our coaching methods are
       designed to ignite young minds with questions that are
       interesting and motivating. This process connects
       information more meaningful way compared to
       teaching facts and processes in traditional class room.
       Research shows that when a learner is involved
       and engaged, they retain 80% of what they learn.

From Foundations Book on IBL
             National Science Foundation
      Children need to be nurtured to fully develop their abilities to
      become real thinkers—to puzzle through problems, to see multiple
      ways of finding solutions, to gather and weigh evidence, and to apply
      and test scientific ideas.

      They need opportunities to experience the joy of discovery and
      develop scientific attitudes such as perseverance, risk taking,
      curiosity, and inventiveness. These skills of inquiry can ultimately
      equip children with the ability to function effectively as adults, both
      at work and in the everyday world.

Question puzzling all of us

            How can kids learn             21st

            century skills with 19th

Challenges with public school
                        systems
        Designed for industrialized economy and assembly line model to “Process kids
        in batches”. Quote from Sir Ken Robinson –Source TED video.

        Over the years, we got obsessed with testing, which results in many teachers
        focusing on teach for the tests and not real learning.

        Hands-on experiences and 1:1 personalized time are hard to implement with
        25+ students in a class.

        Capitalist competition attracts best talent away from low-paid teaching
        profession.

        Public schools in US where 90% of the students attend provide no choice to
        parents and have no competition.

What public school teachers
            CANNOT do effectively?
        Class room size is main challenge for a teacher to engage
         kids in smaller groups or at 1:1 level. It is not practical even
         for best teachers to personalize teaching. We all know
         that everyone’s learning style and pace is different.
        School resources are dedicated to prove each class room is
         meeting standards and maximum possible students
         “PASS” the test.
        As a society, we all are obsessed with GRADES and
         measuring performance of students through standardized
         tests, which are not designed to measure “True learning or
         application of knowledge.”

US education outcomes are pathetic.

        70% graduate from High school, but few have really learnt much.


        Only 1/3 of our high school students are truly college ready.


         5% end up taking engineering in college compared to 20% in china.

        Many students, even from best high schools struggle to meet
        expectations in college.

Team based approach to promote 4C
                  skills.

         Our afterschool enrichment program works
         with kids in small teams (max 7) and focus on...
          • Inquiry and Project Based learning (IBL & PBL).
          • Real life examples and projects for relevance.
          • Learning by experimenting and observation in teams.
          • Continuous research to support students & teacher/coach.
          • Promoting Out-of-the-box thinking.
          • Cross Connecting information across the disciplines.

Project Based Learning (PBL) done in
      teams enforces 21st century skills
      Projects enable engagement & motivation. When done in
      small teams, it forces the kids to communicate, build on
      each other ideas and work together on a common task.

      Teams using PBL are very interactive and learn to apply
      the knowledge and seek answers to many questions that
      arise during the project.

Afterschool enrichment programs

         Enroll Elementary, middle school and high school students. Per
         month fee is ~$100. Same as Kumon or any other tutoring services.

         Each Team will have maximum of 7 students. Most learning will be
         team oriented using IBL & PBL best practices.

         Living room learning is preferred location. Small team size makes
         this possible and observation easier for coach (teacher)
           • Comfortable for all kids.
           • Cheaper for everyone and less travel needed.

Why Afterschool programs are used
                by parents?
           On average typical suburban family spends about $5k-
           8k on after school programs.
           Hard to dedicate time for parents to teach and
           manage jobs.
           Not all parents can teach well and understand online
           content.
           Schools are not equipped to handle 21st century
           learning challenges.

Bloom’s Taxonomy




Learning redefined for knowledge age   19    Jan 25, 2013
Bloom learning levels

         Bloom identified six levels within the cognitive
         domain. He effectively broke thinking down into
         different levels, each building on the previous
         one, from the most simple to the more abstract.
         Within this structure learning at the higher levels
         is dependent on having attained essential
         knowledge and skills at lower levels.



Learning redefined for knowledge age   20                      Jan 25, 2013

Learning2innovate profile and intro

  • 1. Profile & After School Enrichment programs Satya Gunampalli Jan 25, 2013 Learning redefined for knowledge age 1 Jan 25, 2013
  • 2. About Us Learning2Innovate is an education startup to promote inquiry and project based learning in teams. Our programs aim to enable young minds to apply their knowledge to solve complex problems and innovate to succeed in life. Our coaching methods foster kids to communicate, collaborate, think critically and create the new world they wish to live in. Knowledge age requires knowledge workers. What our schools teach today is no longer enough. Many repeatable & mundane jobs are being automated. Kids who learn to generate new ideas, work in teams and innovate will thrive in 21st century and solve complex global challenges. Learning redefined for knowledge age 2 Jan 25, 2013
  • 3. Key lessons from education and Brain research Education research tells us schools need to be smaller, with more parent involvement and more personalized curricula. Brain research shows people learn by making sense of information, by connecting things, and by learning in a real context. Learning theory asserts the value of hands-on experiences. Developmental psychology says kids are fragile and must be nurtured by adult mentors to thrive. • - Source: http://metcenter.org/about-us/our-history/ Learning redefined for knowledge age 3 Jan 25, 2013
  • 4. Natural curiosity drives Inquiry Based Learning (IBL) Engagement & motivation to learn is driven by our own natural curiosity. Our coaching methods are designed to ignite young minds with questions that are interesting and motivating. This process connects information more meaningful way compared to teaching facts and processes in traditional class room. Research shows that when a learner is involved and engaged, they retain 80% of what they learn. Learning redefined for knowledge age 4 Jan 25, 2013
  • 5. From Foundations Book on IBL National Science Foundation Children need to be nurtured to fully develop their abilities to become real thinkers—to puzzle through problems, to see multiple ways of finding solutions, to gather and weigh evidence, and to apply and test scientific ideas. They need opportunities to experience the joy of discovery and develop scientific attitudes such as perseverance, risk taking, curiosity, and inventiveness. These skills of inquiry can ultimately equip children with the ability to function effectively as adults, both at work and in the everyday world. - http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2000/nsf99148/pdf/nsf99148.pdf Learning redefined for knowledge age 5 Jan 25, 2013

  • 7. Question puzzling all of us How can kids learn 21st century skills with 19th century education systems? Learning redefined for knowledge age 7 Jan 25, 2013
  • 8. Challenges with public school systems Designed for industrialized economy and assembly line model to “Process kids in batches”. Quote from Sir Ken Robinson –Source TED video. Over the years, we got obsessed with testing, which results in many teachers focusing on teach for the tests and not real learning. Hands-on experiences and 1:1 personalized time are hard to implement with 25+ students in a class. Capitalist competition attracts best talent away from low-paid teaching profession. Public schools in US where 90% of the students attend provide no choice to parents and have no competition. Learning redefined for knowledge age 8 Jan 25, 2013
  • 9. What public school teachers CANNOT do effectively? Class room size is main challenge for a teacher to engage kids in smaller groups or at 1:1 level. It is not practical even for best teachers to personalize teaching. We all know that everyone’s learning style and pace is different. School resources are dedicated to prove each class room is meeting standards and maximum possible students “PASS” the test. As a society, we all are obsessed with GRADES and measuring performance of students through standardized tests, which are not designed to measure “True learning or application of knowledge.” Learning redefined for knowledge age 9 Jan 25, 2013
  • 10. US education outcomes are pathetic. 70% graduate from High school, but few have really learnt much. Only 1/3 of our high school students are truly college ready. 5% end up taking engineering in college compared to 20% in china. Many students, even from best high schools struggle to meet expectations in college. Learning redefined for knowledge age 10 Jan 25, 2013

  • 12. Team based approach to promote 4C skills. Our afterschool enrichment program works with kids in small teams (max 7) and focus on... • Inquiry and Project Based learning (IBL & PBL). • Real life examples and projects for relevance. • Learning by experimenting and observation in teams. • Continuous research to support students & teacher/coach. • Promoting Out-of-the-box thinking. • Cross Connecting information across the disciplines. Learning redefined for knowledge age 12 Jan 25, 2013
  • 13. Project Based Learning (PBL) done in teams enforces 21st century skills Projects enable engagement & motivation. When done in small teams, it forces the kids to communicate, build on each other ideas and work together on a common task. Teams using PBL are very interactive and learn to apply the knowledge and seek answers to many questions that arise during the project. Learning redefined for knowledge age 13 Jan 25, 2013
  • 14. Activities of mind that help create pathways for an innovative person Learning redefined for knowledge age 14 Jan 25, 2013
  • 15. Afterschool enrichment programs Enroll Elementary, middle school and high school students. Per month fee is ~$100. Same as Kumon or any other tutoring services. Each Team will have maximum of 7 students. Most learning will be team oriented using IBL & PBL best practices. Living room learning is preferred location. Small team size makes this possible and observation easier for coach (teacher) • Comfortable for all kids. • Cheaper for everyone and less travel needed. Learning redefined for knowledge age 15 Jan 25, 2013
  • 16. Why Afterschool programs are used by parents? On average typical suburban family spends about $5k- 8k on after school programs. Hard to dedicate time for parents to teach and manage jobs. Not all parents can teach well and understand online content. Schools are not equipped to handle 21st century learning challenges. Learning redefined for knowledge age 16 Jan 25, 2013
  • 17. Team activities every week (90 min)  Reflect on how everyone did since last meeting and discuss ways to improve. Everything must be student centric. - 15 minutes.  Work on quarterly project – 45 minutes.  Identify issues, plan and discuss .  Assign tasks to be worked offline by everyone.  Record the sessions to be used for final video on the project.  Plan next week activities and offline work to be done by everyone.  In session challenge – 15 minutes.  Discuss a topic that team will research and learn about at home – 15 minutes. Learning redefined for knowledge age 17 Jan 25, 2013
  • 18. Expected student engagement every week (about 2-3 hours, at Home) Think and research on project tasks that came up in team meetings. • Form different questions and reframe them. • Write down ideas for project to discuss with the team. • Email the group for clarifications and questions. • Sketch, draw or build any prototypes that will help communicate ideas to team better. Learning redefined for knowledge age 18 Jan 25, 2013
  • 19. Bloom’s Taxonomy Learning redefined for knowledge age 19 Jan 25, 2013
  • 20. Bloom learning levels Bloom identified six levels within the cognitive domain. He effectively broke thinking down into different levels, each building on the previous one, from the most simple to the more abstract. Within this structure learning at the higher levels is dependent on having attained essential knowledge and skills at lower levels. Learning redefined for knowledge age 20 Jan 25, 2013
  • 21. Bloom Taxonomy explained Remembering: can the student recall or remember the information? define, duplicate, list, memorize, recall, repeat, reproduce state Understanding: can the student explain ideas or concepts? classify, describe, discuss, explain, identify, locate, recognize, report, select, translate, paraphrase Applying: can the student use the information in a new way? choose, demonstrate, dramatize, employ, illustrate, interpret, operate, schedule, sketch, solve, use, write. Analyzing: can the student distinguish between the different parts? appraise, compare, contrast, criticize, differentiate, discriminate, distinguish, examine, experiment, question, test. Evaluating: can the student justify a stand or decision?appraise, argue, defend, judge, select, support, value, evaluate Creating: can the student create new product or point of view? assemble, construct, create, design, develop, formulate, write. Learning redefined for knowledge age 21 Jan 25, 2013
  • 22. Building right skills is easy when interest and passion is involved. Our goal is to enable every kid reach all levels of Bloom Taxonomy on everything they are interested in and passionate about. Learning redefined for knowledge age 22 Jan 25, 2013
