- 11. Trend 4 Education Will Shift from Averages to Individuals.
(Standardization to Personalization) The trend toward standards and
high-stakes testing will likely incite a movement toward ensuring
that support is provided for individual students to reach high
levels of learning. Demand will grow for personalization rather

produce averages, demand uniformity, and sustain a scoreboard
mentality .

students shape tomorrows world. Teachers will become partners with

collapsed and it really hit home for many of the locals. We sent
letters and interviewed locals about the issue. It started out as a

Statistics teacher, to help my students visualize their research.
The class made graphs so we could better comprehend our numbers. My
classes wrote the script and we started to brainstorm on the video.
First semester, they were graded on their lobbying efforts, second
semester, on community service, third quarter on their
participation in the video, and fourth quarter they will write an
essay or give an oral presentation on what they will take from this
project. Currently, we are planning a Skype with a class in
Minneapolis to talk about their experience last fall.

- 17. Creativity Creativity is now as important in education as
literacy and we should treat it with the same status. If you're not
prepared to be wrong then you will never come up with anything
original. We don't grow into creativity we grow out of it, or
rather, we get educated out of it. Ken Robinson http://
