Transforming Education through Social Entrepreneurship

By: John Jong-Hyun Kim
    ShareBar

    Description

    This course is designed for students who want to understand the central role that education plays in our economy and society and who may want to play an active role (e.g., as entrepreneur, board member, etc.) in shaping the future workforce, bringing about a more equitable society, and improving the trajectories of our nation’s youth. 

    The cases feature social entrepreneurs leveraging entrepreneurial and managerial practices to deliver pattern-breaking change in K-12, Higher Ed, and education focused non-profits.  The course covers adaptive and personalized learning, disruptive innovations such as AI and machine learning, achieving system-level change amidst competing goals, and deepening understanding of the complexities and constraints of the sector to ferret out what works.  Cases are set in various markets including U.S., China, and India. Nearly all of the sessions include visits from case protagonists. 

    The course also tackles career questions for students who wonder how to make a difference in the education sector while pursuing a career in other industries.
