Preparing students to succeed

• Agility at learning skills is what differentiates
  a 21st Century citizen and learner from a 20th
  Century citizen and learner. The illiterate of
  the 21st century will not be those who cannot
  read and write, but those who cannot learn,
  unlearn and relearn.
• Alvin Toffler (2000)

Different Kind of Person

• The future belongs to a very different kind of
  person with a very different kind of mind
  creators and empathizers, pattern recognizers and
  meaning makers. These people artists,
  inventors, designers, storytellers, caregivers,
  consolers, big picture thinkers will now reap
  society richest rewards and share its greatest
  joys.
• Daniel Pink From the Introduction to A WHOLE NEW
  MIND

  age?
