This has been a very busy year with the initial planning and the work helping districts transition to the new common core state standards. I am very excited about this time in education. We are at an historical point where education can make a real change and help all students' succeed in the 21st century global economy. We all used to believe that graduating from high school was what you needed to find a good life job and those with a college degree were going to have no problem finding a job. Well our economy has proved that wrong. Watch this video from Daniel Pink about educational changes.
What does all this mean for today's educators? We need to think about the skills that students need for the next generation not the needs of what our generation needed. The world has changed and we all need to work hard to get our educational practices into the 21st century. It is the right thing to do and we need to work together to help make this transition happen. Teamwork + Communication = Success!
