America’s schools are teaching
young people how to succeed in a complex and ever-changing world.
They are helping young people
look beyond the problems and find new opportunities.
The world is different, and so
are our schools. In fact, schools are being transformed in subtle and
not-so-subtle ways.
Many new techniques and new
tools, like technology, are changing the way educators teach and students
learn.
This is important if we are to
compete in a global economy by using best practices to conquer modern
challenges.
While schools are changing,
community support and parental involvement remain key to the success of today’s
students.
This is because America’s
schools are everybody’s business. Their success is our nation’s best weapon
against all future threats, be they economic, social, military, or strategic.
Take some time to visit a local
school. See what’s going on.
Volunteer to help.
There’s no doubt that the
future of our democracy and the health of our economy depend on what is
happening in today’s classrooms.
Your support and assistance
will make a tremendous difference.
Let’s all resolve to help.
