The results of this failing system are all too clear: glaring achievement gaps, record high school dropout rates, declining international rankings, and extensive demand for postsecondary remediation. Our country is in dire need of comprehensive education reform that embraces a new way of thinking — a shift from a world of schooling to a world of learning. In an era increasingly motivated by innovation and international competition, our success depends on our ability to embrace this type of educational transformation.
As a leader in applying future trends to educational transformation, KnowledgeWorks seeks to inform thought leaders about the policy conditions critical to a world of learning. While the emergence of new technologies, school models, and anytime, anywhere learning, have begun to define learning environments of the future, federal policymakers must establish the policy conditions to help these innovations thrive.
