Einstein said, “You cannot solve problems using the same thinking that created them.” In corporate culture, we call it the 'Peter Principle'.
Originally the principle states : "In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence." Generalizing it, anything that works will be used in progressively more challenging applications until it fails. You have to keep rising, unless you reach a level that's higher than your competence.
Applying it to education; "If we want students to excel in today’s world and engage them in a way that helps to develop 21st century skills, we can’t keep doing things the same way in our classrooms."
