6. Latest report from MA DESE...
“Our Way Forward” by Commissioner Riley
“There is growing awareness not just in our schools – but also in the
research community – that we must more closely match students’
daily experience in school with the expectations they will encounter
in college, in their careers, and as “citizens navigating a complex
world.”
“The goal of education is no longer simply to possess knowledge;
instead, leveraging ever-smarter technology, students must learn to
access knowledge, mine it for relevance, and apply it in new ways.”
