Preparation for Tomorrow

http://www.sreb.org/


What is SREB?

A nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that works with 16 member states to improve public pre-K-12 and higher education. Founded by the region's governors and legislators in 1948, SREB was America's first interstate compact for education. Today it is the only regional education compact that works directly with state leaders, schools and educators to improve teaching, learning and student achievement at every level of education. SREB's mission is ambitious: to help SREB states lead the nation in educational progress.

SREB Chair for 2013:

America 2013 Nearly 1.3 million teenagers in the United States

drop out of high school each year. More than 25% of the high school class of 2006

failed to graduate on time. 20% of current college graduates hold low wage

jobs Percent of children in poverty in 2012---24.6% The current traditional high school curricula do

not work for many students. Our nation’s STEM workforce sectors have a

shortage of qualified workers. The nation’s high school curricula and

workforce needs are not aligned.

Today’s students ask:


Questions Students Should Ask !

What if ? Why not ?

How about ?


Imagine an authentic standard based real word project/problem based curriculum that is so engaging for students and transformational for teachers that it changes how we organize schools and teach students.


What is the difference between a

“Standards Aligned” And

“Standards Based” Curriculum?



is Standards Based (Common Core Standards)

Finally! Students get the answers to:

1. Why do I need to know this ? 2. Where will I ever use this ?

All teachers say: 1. I can use this teaching method in

my classes. 2. This teaching method address

how to meet the common core standards

Because we pay equal attention to teaching both the essential academics AND the technical content .

is an education program intended to develop the nation’s

future workforce and improve student learning

------------------------------------- “The future workforce is in the K-12 schools now.”

AND, It’s important to understand that…

“The students can not be what they can not see.”

So, what is the outlook ?

By the year 2012 it is estimated that the US will be 3 million skilled workers short in all high skills sectors
