1.     Create a counseling center to learn to self-regulate and know WHO you are, not what you do

2.     Develop an effective/efficient RTI system with powerful first-time CORE instruction and classroom level interventions

3.     Expression, first through writing and co-teaching planning 

4.     Develop a sense of the global world around us: speak with people other countries, develop relationships and communicate, open up assignments globally

*Automaticity in reading, writing and math has to be in tact and not a barrier for each child at each grade level

What does our future world look like? 

Our world is shrinking.  Our communication has to be well thought out in an instant and can be delivered in the blink of an eye.  https://aimblog.uoregon.edu/2014/04/15/our-shrinking-world/

What will come next? 

Goals: A graduate will be able to reinvent his/her career (where change becomes the norm) using global expression.  

Many of the jobs we rely on now won’t exist in the future.  

According to Careers Advice Online, approximately 30% of the total workforce will change jobs every 12 months.  By the age of 42 most will likely have had about ten jobs.  As educators, we can conclude that it is important to teach our students to be comfortable with the idea of reinventing and marketing themselves in their professional lives.  It’s our job to strengthen confidence helping a child discover WHO they are so that WHAT they do doesn’t become their identity.  WHAT they do will be fluid. And, the child will have the courage and ability to reinvent their professional career as many times as they want or need.  Here is the full article from Careers Advice Online:  http://www.careers-advice-online.com/career-change-statistics.html. And, according to Kai-Fu Lee, author of AI Superpowers, 40% of jobs in the world will be displaced. 

Artificial Intelligence, of course, is a variable that according to Kai-Fu Lee is coming faster than any previous revolution and will affect us more than the change of electricity itself!  

When given this task of using platforms to change the fibers of our education here at Roosevelt, I began looking at what our future looks like in 15 years.  Of course, I think of my own 4^th grader now, who will be 24 years old and in infancy stages of her career.  Just like you, I want her prepared for a future where she’s excited about life and what she’s doing each and every day!
