Mapping the Value Stream in Education

Monday, December 19th, 2011

If we map the value stream in education, we get something like this:

That’s according to Toyota Culture, as cited by Aretae.

That’s according to Aretae, who’s reading Toyota Culture at the moment.

As Wobbly (BC) notes, that accords well with the Bloom 2-sigma problem.

    Misunderstanding?

    I wrote my read of the value stream in education, not Liker, et al.’s opinion. I was just reminded of the topic of value stream mapping by the (very good) book.

  2. Dear Aretae,

    I’m not sure how to contact you but I would like to read your post and I find it is closed.

    Any chance?

    Anne Marie,

    The post was a quick thing. There wasn’t much content to it. But I reproduce what little content there was there here.

    The format of my assertions: Activity = Value percentage … how much waste is generated

    Explanation = 3% of total value…[and only 10% of the explanation is positive value. --ed. for clarity] the other 90% of explanation is waste.

    Example = 15% of value…surprisingly high.

    Practice / Repetition = 40% of value … Waste from praticing wrong thing, practicing thing wrong.

    Feedback during practice = 30% of value … Waste from bad feedback

    Evaluation = 10% of value … waste from teaching to the evaluation.

    It really was a small thing.

    Why are you looking for value stream and education stuff?
