NYS Middle Level Liaisons Thursday, March 29, 2012
A New Place In History… “Our once unchallenged preeminence in commerce, industry, science and technological innovation is being taken over by competitors throughout the world. The educational foundations of our society are presently being eroded by a rising tide of mediocrity that threatens our very future as a nation and a people”
Which Requires a New Set of Remedies… Increased aid to low wealth school districts Setting of standards and increasing math and science requirements Lengthening the school day and year Increase in compensation for teachers Salary, tenure, retention and promotion should be tied to an effective evaluation system that rewards superior teachers, encourages average teachers and improves or terminates poor performing teachers
A Nation at Risk….. April 26, 1983
Increasing Demands of Economic Competitiveness • The global economy is changing the nature of work and the kinds of jobs our young people will enter. • Jobs that once required a high school degree and paid a family-sustaining-wage and included retirement and health benefits are disappearing, and new jobs require more knowledge and skills than ever before. • Today, roughly two-thirds of all new jobs require some form of postsecondary education. • Experts say this percentage only will increase in the future.
