Students
• Need T people
•What we do•Caught in the industrial age•Mass Produce for the most part•Standardized Test•Some innovation, still 80% in a 60 year old model •Fundamental redo needed•Technology is not a panacea for this but its one building block

Some suggestions on tactics• Tangible goals related to 21st Century endorsed by leaders
(potential areas)- Drop out- Post Secondary Enrollment- STEM majors in higher ed- Teachers on subject- Virtual inclusion- Standards aligned
• Clear accountability for each goal • Business and economic development tie for each goal-
involve them in planning• Involve local districts in goal setting • University of North Carolina Tomorrow model?
