Does the Current Traditional Model of Education Prepare Youths for the Jobs that Need to be Filled?
New York, NY (PRWEB) August 01, 2016 -- Is our curriculum preparing our youth for jobs and life in an age of globalization and artificial intelligence? What is the legacy of Race to the Top and Barack Obama’s other education initiatives, and what’s been accomplished in education around the country since 2012? What are the most critical needs for education leading up to 2030?
In a timely series leading up to the US Election, The Global Search for Education (published by CMRubinWorld) interviews those leaders at the forefront of educational change, beginning with Dr. Andrew Hargreaves. In C. M. Rubin’s new interview with Hargreaves he explains: “What the US now needs is a learning Secretary who promotes challenging and joyful learning for all students, uplifting and impactful learning for education professionals, and relentless learning among state systems from one another and from other systems across the world to become more innovative and effective.” Hargreaves is the Thomas More Brennan Chair in the Lynch School of Education at Boston College, serves as adviser in education to the Premier of Ontario, is founding editor of two scholarly journals, and is President Elect of the International Congress for School Effectiveness and Improvement.
“America’s educational strategy has been basic and bland, rather than broad and bold,” adds Hargreaves.
