• W919914186 abstract "Many educators have heard of the document A Nation at Risk (NCEE 1983), but do you remember what the United States was a nation at risk of? focus of the risk was not primarily on schools--it was on the economy. In 1983 when the National Commission on Excellence in Education (NCEE) document was published, the United States was proclaimed a nation at risk of losing its place in the global economy. A Nation at Risk is almost eerily prophetic. Consider the following from the beginning pages of the document: nation is at risk. Our once unchallenged preeminence in commerce, industry, science, and technological innovation is being overtaken by competitors throughout the world ... We live among determined, well-educated, and strongly motivated competitors. We compete with them for international standing and markets ... America's position in the world may once have been reasonably secure with only a few exceptionally well-trained men and women. It is no longer (NCEE 1983). members of the NCEE who wrote A Nation at Risk pretty much looked into the future and saw today's modern economy where low-skilled jobs are being outsourced off American soil. NCEE predicted today's reality where American workers have to be smarter and work harder just to maintain their quality of life. standards movement in America, which followed on the heels of A Nation at Risk, read to me like a solution manual to the economic posed in the NCEE document. America lacks a workforce ready for the global economy, and inquiry in the classroom answers that need. This case was laid out in the National Education Standards (NRC 1996). developers of the Standards clearly saw the link between learning and workforce development: Science understanding and ability also will enhance the capability of all students to hold meaningful and productive jobs in the future. business community needs entry-level workers with the ability to learn, reason, think creatively, make decisions, and solve problems (p. 12). You are probably familiar with how the Standards advocated for inquiry as central to learning. Students who can do inquiry's intellectual work will be prepared for the mental challenges of today's modern workforce. Looking around: gathering storm In 2000, a national commission led by astronaut John Glenn (NCMST 2000) reported their findings. In many ways, the Glenn commission picked up right where A Nation at Risk left off, making three points about the link between America's economy and the (and math) education our children are receiving: * The future well-being of our nation and people depends not just on how well we educate our children generally, but on how well we educate them in mathematics and specifically (p. 6). * children are falling behind; they are simply not 'world-class learners' when it comes to mathematics and science (p. 6). * The most powerful instrument for change ... lies at the very core of education--with teaching itself (p. 7). Glenn commission fleshed out the picture of the fundamental ways the American economy is changing: * new economy is rich in technology and technology innovation; and math education are the best preparation for these changes. * number of high-tech jobs will increase dramatically; without strong and math education, American students will be unprepared to take these jobs. * new global economy allows much easier relocation of jobs around the world; if American students are not prepared to fill jobs on American soil, global economic pressures will force business and industry to relocate those jobs to countries that have a workforce ready to fill those jobs. In light of these dramatic changes, the Glenn commission pointed right to the heart of the classroom, singling out teaching as the essential component that needs to change to improve student learning. …" @default.
