January-June 2020 

Current standards and accountability systems really do not do STEM…or education as a whole…any favors. While they seem to be a given, there was a time before standards and accountability as we know them and there may well be a time after...if only we can come up with viable alternatives that serve learners and educators in more fruitful ways. What are the alternatives? Perhaps the movement toward profiles of graduates is a starting point.

Initially the work may be about daydreaming out-loud but the hope is that we would land on some “ahas” that could form the basis of a white paper or other piece of writing.
