4. We Have to Do Better… The Public Policy Institute states that by 2025 California will not be able to sustain supply of BA graduates to replace retirees.  They will be short by over 1 million if nothing is changed. http://www.ppic.org/content/pubs/report/R_409HJR.pdf

5. Preparing for Postsecondary Success • The Common Core Standards were released on June 2, 2010 • August 2, 2010, the State Board of Education adopted the Common Core State Standards with the California Additions

6. Stakeholders United to Write theCollege and Career-Readiness Standards *Minnesota adopted the CCSS in ELA only Nationally 45 States + DC have Adopted the Common Core State Standards (as of May 2012)

7. The Common Core Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help their students. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy. - Common Core State Standards Initiative

8. Common Core Standards are to be Fully Implemented in 2013-2014 The State Superintendent and the State Board of Education presented to the Governor and appropriate Legislature Committees a schedule and implementation plan for integrating the Common Core State Standards into the state educational system.

41. Creativity is the Currency of the 21st Century “ Creative individuals and nations are poised to prosper. The new third world will be the nations that need to import creativity. Businesses are turning to creativity like never before. It is imperative to design a learning environment in which students are creating real world products to demonstrate their understanding of the content.” ~Crocket, Jukes, Churches, 2011
