Huddle Up with Entrepreneurs

There is a need in the current landscape of Entrepreneurship Education for meaningful, real-world collaboration and problem-solving. 



"At this point, it’s clear that entrepreneurship education, as it’s currently practiced, does not work," says Andrew Yang in his article critiquing Entrepreneurship Education. 

We need to reimagine the current state of Entrepreneurship Education to be "action-based, not knowledge-based." 

Yang continues by relating the study of Entrepreneurship to "an athletic endeavor, like serving a tennis ball.  Telling you how to do it is useless.  You actually get better through a combination of practice, coaching, and repetitions." 

Along with the need for hands-on, real-world training, more students than ever are interested in starting their own businesses. 

"With student interest in new business creation on the rise, the future for higher education is likely to be far brighter than it seems. Research shows that, in the heart of the pandemic, student interest in entrepreneurship education spiked. That trend proves what many of us already suspected: Crisis indeed fuels entrepreneurship." 

This is according to the great article Entrepreneurship Is an Opportunity for Education By Timothy Mescon, Edwin van Rest. 

Huddle Up is serving this need for quality, meaningful experiences for Entrepreneurship Education through better individual learning and collaborative decision-making. Learning - especially entrepreneurship learning - is not about remembering information; it's about putting that learning into action, and then learning from the ideas and feedback of others. 

We're transforming entrepreneurship education, together.

Implementing a Strategic Plan: The Challenges and How Huddle Up Makes It Easier

Once an organization has developed a strategic plan, the next hurdle is to make it actionable. However, even well-thought-out plans often face significant obstacles during implementation. Plans tend to “gather dust,” remaining largely invisible to the wider organization and failing to adapt when conditions change. Huddle Up aims to solve that problem with a new way to make strategic plans dynamic, transparent experiences where evidence and feedback build shared accountability from all constituents.  See how Huddle Up changes strategic planning   In our  previous post , we explored the challenges organizations face when developing a strategic plan. While the development phase presents hurdles in goal setting, stakeholder engagement, and planning efficiency, the real test begins when it’s time to put that plan into action. Even the best-crafted strategic plans can fall flat during the implementation phase, leading to poor execution, missed deadlines, and disengaged teams. H...

Elevating Professional Learning: Dr. Molly Myers leads her faculty with an innovative twist on Professional Learning Communities (PLCs)

  At Huddle Up Learning, we believe in the power of collaboration to enhance educational practices. One exemplary leader in this movement is Dr. Molly Myers, the Lower School Principal at Shanghai Community International School (SCIS), who has transformed the professional development landscape at her school. Watch the full podcast here (39:33) The Journey Begins: A Year of Growth 2023-24 "I want an organization that learns autonomously, period." Two years ago, Dr. Molly Myers initiated a structured approach to Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) within her faculty. To start the 2023-24 school year, different teams of faculty members chose their own PLC topics, focusing on improved instruction and identifying effective ways to measure student learning. Dr. Myers structured specific time set aside in the yearly calendar for teams to meet within their PLCs and share updates and feedback on the strategies they were implementing as well as the process itself.   The culminatio...

What Happens After the Workshop?

We’ve all been there: you leave a professional development workshop energized, inspired, and ready to make changes. But a few weeks later? That energy fades, and little has shifted. Why does so much of our well-intentioned, meaningful, and well-delivered professional learning often fail to make an impact? That’s exactly the issue Thomas Guskey pointed to in a recent article: despite good intentions, the outcomes of many professional learning efforts fall flat. He describes it as a puzzling mismatch between what schools invest and what actually changes in practice. Here’s the link to his article: https://kappanonline.org/explaining-the-puzzling-results-in-professional-learning-research/ A Puzzle With a Solution But maybe it’s not so puzzling after all. Most schools devote a huge majority of their time and money to the inputs of professional learning, deciding what conferences to attend, what speakers to bring in, or which online course to take. These decisions feel productive. They g...
