This 112-page publication, Preparing Schools and School Systems for the 21st Century, presents characteristics of schools and school systems capable of preparing students for a global knowledge/information age. Order copies of this publication for board members, administrative team, staff, and community leaders. Use it to build support and stimulate discussions that will help you take leadership in reshaping your schools and school system for a new millennium. Characteristics of 21st century schools were identified by a distinguished council of 21 leaders in business, education, government and other fields during an historic Mount Vernon Conference. The council was under the honorary chairmanship of Senator John Glenn and was directed by the American Association of School Administrators. The study was made possible by financial support from AMP Incorporated and the Electric Power Research Institute.

(Sixteen Trends . . . Their Profound Impact on Our Future ...)
Sixteen Trends . . . Their Profound Impact on Our Future Highlighting key factors which are destined to reshape the world, Marx is quick to identify how each of these "trends" will influence educational policy in various ways. With improving academic achievement for ALL students as the main goal, Sixteen Trends provides an enlightened look into the learning processes of the children of tomorrow. Some of the many issues discussed within its contents include: -the shift in population demographics and its role in life-long learning -the need for school curriculum and practices to reflect the dawning of the "information age" -the importance of equilibrium and acceptance of divergent viewpoints in preparing for emerging generations -how continuous improvement will replace "quick fixes" and challenge the status quo theory of education -why the globalization of politics and the economy today will mandate the need for interdependence in educational practice When asked about the importance of his book Sixteen Trends, author Gary Marx states, "Linear goals are not enough. Looking at tomorrow and seeing it only as a little bit more or a little bit less of today just won’t cut it as we move into the future. Surrounded by a world filled with discontinuities, we desperately need to set at least a few audacious goals, the kind that took us to the moon and planets, reduced computers from a dozen racks of equipment to a single hand-held device, and envisioned educational opportunity for all. Much of what happens as we break ground on the future will come at us out of the blue. We are in a constant, unrelenting, and exciting race to lay the groundwork for an even brighter future for our children and ourselves." We at ERS are pleased to bring you the latest in Marx’s groundbreaking series. According to ERS President Dr. John Forsyth, "Gary Marx’s work provides an impetus for our educational community. The ability for ERS to share the information contained within Sixteen Trends is a positive and progressive step in ensuring that we are well-prepared in today’s educational system for what the future holds."
