  5. How did we get here? North Carolina has moved from a manufacturing and agricultural economy to a technological and research-based economy. Schools must respond to this change if children are to be ready for the future.

  6. What happens over time? • Let’s consider a 65 year old born in 1943 who began school in 1948 • Decide which decade the event belongs in: • 1940s • 1950s • 1960s • 1970s • 1980s • 1990s • 2000 - present

  7. Consider a child starting Kindergarten today… • This child was born in 2005 • This child was not alive when 9/11 occurred • The United States has been at war for this child’s entire life thus far • We will need to educate this child for a life that will bring retirement in 2070 or later

  8. What might life look like in 2070? • robots being mentally and physically superior to humans • space elevators are built to the moon • artificial intelligence entities are awarded PhDs We need to prepare students for the 21st Century

  9. NORTH CAROLINA’S Educational Pipeline (2008) In North Carolina, for every 100 9th grade students… …70 students graduate four years later …41 students enter college …28 students are still enrolled in their 2nd year …19 students graduate with either an Associate’s degree within three years or a Bachelor’s degree within six years Source: www.achieve.org
