Targets for this morning:I can consider why/how “the world of education is changing in ways that are more dramatic and more far-reaching than anything any of us could have imagined” (Caulkins, 2012). I can consider my educational paradigm and consider if any adjustments are necessary. I can connect the dots of several of today’s educational “buzz words”.

What do we expect kids to learn?
How do we know they are learning it?
How will we respond when they have learned it? How will we respond when they haven’t?
