Schools such as High Tech High 
in San Diego have been pioneering these new learning experiences build around the concept of Problem Based Learning . Many of these schools, however, are private, charters or magnets where they could, essentially, start from scratch.
These schools, however, will only be able to reach a relatively small number of our students.
88% of our students are in traditional public schools. The greatest challenge we face is how to manage a complex transformation process from a industrial learning environment to a new one for a creative economy
That is the challenge we have been focusing on through Innovate Oregon and partners such as School Retool and the Construct Foundation .
The path of transformation for schools requires new mindsets, skillsets and toolsets that our built on the new paradigms of the innovation economy. This transformation will look different for every school, based on their assets and challenges.
It also requires us to understand the The Nature of Genius and how we embrace human potential in a whole new way. It also requires us to understand the new paradigms of Agile that underpins this new creative economy.
But there are elements of commonality. We explore these commonalities, which can be thought of as a shared language called a "pattern language" further in Process.
