Session 1- January 25th-26th
[accordion state=”closed” color=”green” title=”DESCRIPTION CONTINUED” tag=”h3″ ]

The study group will address a series of questions which will ultimately be used as a policy framework for state boards. The questions include:

1. Who are this next generation of learners?
2. What do they know? What can they do? What do they think and feel?
3. How do they compare with other generations and other countries?
4. How and where do they learn?
5. What do they aspire to be? What skills and abilities will they need to accomplish their aspirations in the 21st century?
6. What do they think about their education? How would they change the current system?
7. What does the future hold for them?
8. What are the implications for state policy in the future?

In order answer these and other relevant questions, the study group will, among a number of sources, tap into the latest research and data bases on student learning, examine case studies, engage student board members, and possibly conduct a student survey.   We envision a dynamic process of study that will lead to an equally dynamic product that will serve as catalyst for continuous work in subsequent years.
