Global Trade Pedagogy

Maverick, edge educators and administrators sell and buy curriculum on the global market. China leads the way in math and science; the U.S. in creativty and innovation.

Real World Application

Knowledge collectives catalyze innovation
Look to new forms of innovation networks that support open aggregation and remixing of knowledge—idea markets like Innocentive that match problem solvers with solution seekers or design collectives like ThinkCycle that match the needs of NGOs with design schools around the world. Creative Commons licenses offer flexible means of managing copyright that protect creators but extend unfettered use of innovations. Government agencies can focus on removing barriers and encouraging innovation networks to form. Educational innovation zones will emerge that spark regional trade in pedagogical specialties.
