THERE IS NO MORE IMPORTANT TASK THAN TRANSFORMING EDUCATION BY DESIGN

For education we are already in the next century. Whatever we offer in our schools today will define the creative capacity, the competence, and the character of the generation which will shape the society of th e 21st century. But many of us share a realization that today's school s are far from being able to do justice to the education of future gen erations. There is a growing awareness that our current design of educ ation is out-of-sync with the new realities of the information/knowled ge era. Those who are willing to face these new realities understand t hat: Rather than extend education we should transcend it; rather than revising it, we should re-vision it; and rather then re-forming it, we should trans-form it by design.
