“The Nation that dramatically and boldly
led the world into the age of technology is failing to provide its
own children with the intellectual tools
needed for the 21st century.”
BUT this is a
PRECARIOUS Advantage
The world is changing FAST.
Technological KNOW-HOW is spreading throughout the world;
Along with the knowledge that such SKILLS and SOPHISTICATION
are the basic CAPITAL of tomorrow’s society.
Our children could be STRAGGLERS in a world of technology.

Connecting to the Common Core
The Standards do not define the nature of advanced work for students who meet the Standards prior to the end of high school.
For those students, advanced work in such areas as literature, composition, language, and
journalism should be available.
This work should provide the next logical step up from the college and career readiness
baseline established here.
Students who are College and Career Ready....✓Demonstrate Independence✓Build Strong Content Knowledge✓Respond to Varying Demands of Audience, Task, Purpose, and Discipline✓Comprehend as well as critique✓Value Evidence✓Use Technology and Digital Media Strategically and Capably✓Come to Understand Other Perspectives and Cultures
Research to Build and Present KnowledgeWriting Anchor #7: Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects based on focused questions, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.
The whole process of education should
thus be conceived as the process of
learning to think through the solution
of real problems.
-- John Dewey, 1938

to find things out on their own.”
