*Working Lunch
To meet the disruptive challenges of a global, knowledge-based, innovation-centered economy, scholars must apply new collaborative technologies to diffuse and scale systemic educational solutions.
Concluding Remarks: Elizabeth Vanderputten, DR K-12 Program Officer, NSF
At a time when our country needs to transform its K–20 schooling system in order to meet the challenge of a global, knowledge-based, innovation-centered economy, scholars working together to diffuse and scale systemic solutions is vital for success. Stokes (1997) urged that research investments center in Pasteur’s Quadrant: deepening theory through gaining traction on pervasive real-world difficulties. However, current incentive structures and funding mechanisms for scholars undercut this goal.
