This link addresses 10 major education issues that Georgia faces in 2018. For each issue, the authors present action steps for Georgia. 
The government  on a level can come in and provide assistance for struggling schools.   Schools also have to report to the state in a variety of ways.  For example, the link states, Georgia’s ESSA plan is built around cultivating the whole child. Some reporting includes accounting for attendance, school climate, and investing in Positive Behavior Interventions, and it also requires supports within each district and every school.  These are just a few examples listed in the article. These interventions on state level have positive and negative affects on student learning. It provides accountability for educators, but it also causes our focus to shift to worrying about our scores. We should be focusing on teaching our students and fostering a love for learning. ]]> 2018-10-29 13:38:43 UTC https://padlet.com/aroland2tech/u5hggp2ifbgr/wish/298008612 Table 1 - The Effects Society Culture https://padlet.com/aroland2tech/u5hggp2ifbgr/wish/298008646 District:Lowndes County Mission,, Vision, Values, and Guiding Principles

"The purpose of the school is to ensure that each student develops the capacity to think, reason, and use one's mind well. Each student must develop those understandings, skills, and habits of the mind which make it possible to participate fully in the life of a perse society operating in the context of an information-based global economy.

For example, you can't just buy Nikes anymore, you must customize your own to be cool or trendy. When it comes to fashion, everyone wants to look different than everyone else.

As it pertains to schools, there are a lot more choices. Having the power to choose between charter schools, magnet school, Christian schools, and having the power to choose between them based on what YOU SPECIFICALLY WANT has become the status quo. These schools have a "thing" to market, and a way to make you feel like you need it because it was designed just for you.

In the job field, the cool thing is to do a job that no one else exactly does. You can do "a little bit of this, a little bit of that." ex. content developer/editor There is a shift away from standardized work. Even in the work force, everyone wants to be an individual. ]]> 2018-10-29 13:38:55 UTC https://padlet.com/aroland2tech/u5hggp2ifbgr/wish/298008722 Table 4-Effects ashley_skinner https://padlet.com/aroland2tech/u5hggp2ifbgr/wish/298008802 1. The effect on society and culture conditions individuals to be the most connected in a virtual world, but the least connected in the real world. We do not have true relationships and close bonds with our neighbors and communities.

2. The effect on teaching and learning includes teachers trying to implement lessons using technology, but students begin to lose interest because of over-saturation in technology. Students are too attached to their cell phones and find it difficult to disconnect from their social world and focus on lessons.

3. The example within our district involves high school age students prefer technology use to be interactive and competitive among peers versus isolated practice.

On the state level decisions are made that allow every student to have a choice of what type of high school diploma they are interested in attaining. Students no longer have to get a traditional "one size fits all" high school diploma. They are able to choose their track and choose path.

1. Effect on Culture- The "Traditional " Family has been redefined.
2. Effect on Teaching and Learning- Single parent households have a increased poverty rate and decreased student achievement. At this point, teachers must increase their involvement in the role as a parent.  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4508674/ 
3. District example- Tift County Schools are fortunate to participate in a Parent Involvement Program which houses a parent resource center and a parent liaison at each primary school.  Liaisons play a major part in our support system for parents and bridge the gap between the home and school environment.

Teachers feel overwhelmed because they are having to do so many extra things (in addition to GOOD teaching) to try to get students to meet standards.  Students often are "disengaged" because they are being required to take specific courses for graduation, but they have no interest in the courses and see no purpose in them.

Most can agree that while we focus on standardized testing and scores we lack how to truly customize a student's unique learning goals. For example, students with IEP's require customized learning approach but are not tested in the same manner. Another example we can provide is the shift to Stem approach that allows an individual approach. Also, differentiation must be done to genuinely meet the needs of our children not just for the sake of implementing the idea of differentiation. Student based learning is key based on their learning goals rather than teacher based learning. This is the best description of Mass Customization.
