Today's teacher
meets the challenges
of today and tomorrow
... challenges for the teacher, and even greater
challenges for the students.
Today's students need much more than the basics ­
reading, writing, and arithmetic. They must be prepared
for a different tomorrow. The future they inherit will
hurtle them into the 21st century ... an era where
technological developments Of awesome dimensions will
occur with ever accelerating frequency ... a new world
where ideas, notions. plans and dreams are assessed,
analyzed, communicated. accepted o r rejected at
frightening speed.
A simple fact of life is that life
will never again be as simple
as it is, even today.
That's something to think abo ut.
