How did we get here?
  • North Carolina has moved from a manufacturing
    and agricultural economy to a technological and
    research-based economy. Schools must respond to
    this change if students are to be ready for the
    future.

4
Now lets consider a child starting Kindergarten
in 2008
  • This child was born in 2003
  • This child was not alive when 9/11 occurred
  • The United States has been at war for this
    childs entire life thus far
  • We will need to educate this child for a life
    that will bring retirement in 2068 or later
