The need to move to the next stage of transforming the national educational platform from the industrial, regimented teaching system of the 20th century to the 21st century digital and blended learning system on a national scale. Rather than being a case for continued experimental pieces of reform, the book calls for a national expansion, implemented systemically, that replaces the outdated system. The book affirms that, while experiments of innovation are recognized and appreciated, the need to genuinely look at the nationwide transformation of the entire system will be a better position to ensure a rethinking of economic, academic and measurement interests.

Historically, we have been engaged with a model of education reform since the latter part of the last century. We now have a cycle that's become a system with "e;pockets of promise"e; and isolated experiments. It appears that everyone is an education reformer and every district, charter and region has their own particular experiment, giving the appearance of widespread innovation. We've grown comfortable with this "e;interruption"e; that tolerates, or celebrates, the experiments as long as they don't seriously disrupt our entrenched classroom approach to teaching and learning. Reshaping the Paradigms of Teaching and Learning is a call to move beyond experimentation and transform the understanding of our entire system of education. The author defines the distinctions between the teaching system of the last century and the need for learning systems and how this is possible for today's learner. Understanding the difference, and understanding the need, is our first step toward a broad transformation. That understanding begins with the thought but demands the action. Disruption, and each learner, awaits that transformation.
