Preparing Students
During the first session we had a conversation about the rigor of curriculum. Mr. Closen mentioned his own experience with his daughters in the education system. He mentioned how his daughters received a's throughout high school, but they had difficulties when they entered college. I beleive as future administrators we need to make sure our schools are preparing students not only for college, but global competitiveness. Now more than ever we need to make sure our students do not get passed up by other countries.
